| Summary: | The 100th millennium: A hundred thousand years from now, it was discovered that a star was approaching the world on a collision course. Its discoverer, Creohan, figured there might be time to save the world if he could arouse everyone to the danger. But the Earth had become a strange and kaleidoscopic place in that distant era. Too many empires had risen and fallen, too many cultures had spread their shattered fragments across a planet whose very maps had long since been forgotten. People were too busy with their own private dreams to pay attention to one more new alarm. The story Creohan's effort to Catch a Falling Star is one of John Brunner's most colourful science-fiction concepts. Edge of time: When Warren Alton went off to a quiet rural district of Upper New Yorkstate to investigate some strange news reports, he figured it would bejust a new the of 'flying saucer' scare - only this time people wereseeing dinosaurs and flying lizards. But what that star reporter uncovered turned out to be more fantastic than prehistoric monsters and more incredible than UFO's. For he found himself on a newsbeat that covered dozens of hitherto unknown planets, millions of miles of interstellar space, and thousands of years of time- and yet never took him outside the bounds of present-day America! |
