"The prank that almost destroyed the universe." "It started as a practical joke thrown into a scientific experiment. But the powers it unleashed were awesome and incredible, catapulting Chuck and Jerry together with beautiful Sally and mysterious Old John into the farthest regions of space." "From the bloodsucking Titanians and the flesh-devouring Garnishee, to the mighty Slug-Togath of Proxima Centauri, the more they fought evil the more it seemed to grow, even to possess them in the form of the invisible Lortonoi, engulfing them all in a wild and terrifying cosmic nightmare."--BOOK JACKET.
The final volume in the majestic, bestselling science fiction trilogy that began with "West of Eden" and "Winter in Eden", this climactic saga depicts the final, decisive battle between humanity and the intelligent ancestors of the dinosaurs. Includes a new Introduction by the author.
"HARRY HARRISON IS ONE OF SCIENCE FICTION’S MOST PROLIFIC AND ACCOMPLISHED CRAFTSMEN." —The New York Times Book Review In the midst of Civil War, a stunned North and South join forces to combat a sudden attack of British troops. Though the Americans are victorious, three years later a new threat emerges. Her Majesty’s Army is massing for a possible attack through Texas. Into the gauntlet Lincoln sends his chosen angel of death, General Ulysses S. Grant—while his top soldiers, including Robert E. Lee and William Tecumseh Sherman, plan the most daring naval invasion ever launched: an assault on British soil itself. Stars and Stripes in Peril is the new masterwork from one of the world’s most provocative authors. Venturing beyond a fascinating question of what if? Harry Harrison brilliantly examines the people and passions that make up nations both great and small—and shows how technology and politics had the power to shape history’s first great World War . . . half a century before it began . . . "Lovers of novels of alternate history hold Harry Harrison in high regard and his latest book can only enhance that esteem." —Abilene Reporter News
