About This Item

UK,12mo HB+protected dw/dj,1st edn.[US PUTNAMS,1974 is the true HB 1st edn.Story first appeared in IF.] FINE/FINE. No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj.4-colour block (black,white, orange,blue) pictorial illustrated dw/dj by David Harvey.Blue paper-covered boards with blocked silver gilt letters to spine/backstrip and clean,plain white endpapers.Top edge lightly dust-soiled and fore-edge very lightly aged; contents bright,tight and clean.UK 12mo HB+ dw/dj,1st edn,1-186pp. An adventure of the near future - brought on by a catastrophe in the far future.On a summer's day like any other,holes appeared in the air and people from nowhere walked through them into our world.They came,and they kept coming,until they numbered in the millions.They said they came from the future - they were our children's children.They said there was trouble "up there".They knew they were a terrible burden on our economy,and all, but - well,we couldn't just let them starve,could we? Then more facts became apparent.The "holes in the air" were time tunnels,one-way tunnels from the future.The trouble up there was in the form of alien creatures - ravening beasts with teeth,claws,and tentacles, that reproduced like bacteria and were intelligent.They were utterly uncontrollable and so our children's children fled through the time tunnels,which,they claimed,were securely guarded.The beasts, whatever or whoever they were, couldn't get through.So they claimed.But then somebody up there slipped and the beasts were abroad.
