The exciting chronicle-novel of eight distant tomorrows- each another step forward into the future reaches of time and space. It was logical, once one accepted the basic premise. Life evolved. Judged by results, it was orderly. Fish, monkey, man. And then what? Was there a step beyond man? This extraordinary chronicle novel of the future takes us step by step into the dim reaches of tomorrow. Here is a shattering view of a galaxy encompassing millions of planets- each harboring a potential for life...some in a form more advanced, some more primitive, than man. Brian Aldiss is the brilliant young author of "Starship" and "No Time Like Tomorrow". Born and educated in England, he spent the war years in the service and the next eight years as a bookseller. Since 1957 he has been Literary Editor of the Oxford Mail.
