The Eighty-Minute Hour
Survivors of nuclear war endure strange adventures across time and space in this humorous classic by a Grand Master of Science Fiction.
World War III is coming to an end, but the real chaos is just beginning. Nuclear warfare during the conflict has given rise to a disturbance in the fabric of space and time. Time-turbulences run rampant, sending whatever is caught in their trap to different times and locations. Survivors find themselves in the past, present, or future—or on other planets. Leaders across the globe, as well as an advanced AI system, are all vying to learn as much as possible about these time anomalies—and exploit them as best they can. But the disappearance of a mega-industrialist could have some answers . . .
Meanwhile, a band of heroes embarks on a perilous quest in an alternate world of swords and sorcery. A mad scientist is wreaking havoc on Mars. And just about everyone is bursting whimsically into song. Who knows if the mayhem will ever subside . . .
“Offers some 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
