About This Item
The year 2080... It was an election year...And the racial problem had reached the point where a colored man now seemed likely to be the next chief executive. Add to that a breakthrough into another sort of space and contact with a long forgotten ancestral race... (from the rear panel) CURREY, p.156; CLUTE & NICHOLLS, p.329; REGINALD 04290.
Synopsis
"Dick’s best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable."— The New York Times Book Review When a repairman accidentally discovers a parallel universe, everyone sees it as an opportunity, whether as a way to ease Earth’s overcrowding, set up a personal kingdom, or hide an inconvenient mistress. But when a civilization is found already living there, the people on this side of the crack are sent scrambling to discover their motives. Will these parallel humans come in peace, or are they just as corrupt and ill-intentioned as the people of this world?
