About this Item

� 1968: A stand-alone novel by John Brunner. 1st printing of 1982 edition. A much shorter and substantially different version of this novel appeared under the title ' The Hundredth Millennium', � 1959 by Ace Books, Inc:- Synopsis: In only three hundred years a star would pass so close to the Earth that the seas would boil, the land parch, cities rise in smoke and flame. And nothing could be done to stop it. Unless. People began to heed the warnings of Creohan, the catastrophe's discoverer. But in the chaotic lands of Earth, one hundred thousand years in the future, few men would listen and fewer still would take action against a horror only their great grandchildren would suffer. And so it was, that Creohan set out with faint hope and little help to gather an intrepid band and find a way to move a star from its path:- Review(s): "First-rate Brunner, different from most of his other work, and a thoroughly entertaining bit of writing" - Washington SF Association Journal:- (original cost $2.75).
