Most are hoping for a Garden of Eden where they can live out their lives as fisherman/small holders/viticulturists and escape the stresses of living in their future. Obviously this doesn't come to pass. Earth's past is dominated by a malign exotic alien species and the integration of the individual time-travellers into this society is problematic...* This is a NEAR VG++ reprint copy of the 1st thus with minimal age & shelf wear reducing it to VG+.*
