Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Chris Foss (illustrator). 1985 Edition. © 1974: A stand-alone novel by Brian Aldiss. 1st printing of 1985 edition:- Synopsis: Shattered into fragments - the flow of time itself. World War III is over. East and West have been united by the Cap-Comm Treaty. Outside the pact are the Dissident Nations, with their new capital at Tokyo. The moon has been destroyed. England lies submerged by the ocean. The Danube has been blocked. In the Cap-Comm area, the idea of the eighty-minute hour is being promoted. But the war has caused temporal reforms of a more significant kind. For the humans left on post-holocaust Earth and for those marooned on the Auschwitz planet of Mars, time is starting to come apart at the seams. It starts with bits of South Africa, the Balkans and Afghanistan slipping back into the nineteenth century. But that's only the beginning:- Review(s): "Wild entertainment. The whizzing energy behind all these time-warps and dirty deterministic work at the cosmic crossroads is something to wonder at" - The Guardian / "Alpha-plus. The mind positively gasps" - The Listener / Aldiss writes science fiction on the grandest possible scale" - New York Times Book Review / "Britain's finest science-fiction writer" - Tribune:- (original cost £1.95).
