Previous Owner Markings; Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Edges Lightly Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. SYNOPSIS: "There is one thing quite certain in this business: the idea of time as a steady progression from past to future is wrong." Once you accept that, you can accommodate the thought that, in 1966, the First World War is still being waged. You can see it's possible to meet the ancient Greeks. With Fred Hoyle pushing behind you, you can climb centuries in the future. For that's the way of Mr Hoyle's world, where a man can be young and old at the same time. Where in Britain, it's 1966, in America it's 1750, in France it's 1917. Where a man given the time of his life must settle, at last, for life in his time.. First Edition 2nd Printing.
