Synopsis
After millennia of probing into the galaxy, the long retreat had begun. Centaur was a temporary plug in the dyke that kept out the flood of marauding extra-terrestrials. But her crew of two had their own problem when the Time Beacons began to fail. Still, life has to be lived out, wherever or whenever consciousness is, at the level of the situation that exists there. Ava Mallam and Bob Dogood had a complex maze to tread in sorting out the angles of twin lives in counterpoint. And meanwhile, time was catching them in a deadly grip.

Occasionally, under his own name - as with From Carthage then I Came (1966; vt Eight Against Utopia 1967), Matrix (1970), The Phaeton ConditionN (1973) and Pitman's Progress (1976) - Mason would attempt more ambitious novels containing some social comment; some of these would be set in a sometimes disguised Wirral, near Liverpool'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF, 3rd Edition).
