About This Item
New York: Bantam Books, 1986. Book Club Edition; First Thus. Boards. As new/fine. A fine first thus Book Club Edition in a near fine dust jacket. Appears unread. Wine colored paper boards. Code Q28 on page 241. May 1986 on copyright page. 05346 on rear cover. Crease at top edge of jacket. 243 pp. Octavo The novel proposes invasions from alternate Earths in alternate universes. None of these universes are quite like our universe; however, they all have some element or other in common, many of which Pohl develops to satiric effect. In one universe, Nancy Reagan is the President of the United States and her mostly disregarded husband Ronald is known as "The First Gentleman". John F. Kennedy is a Senator from Massachusetts who is married to a woman called Marilyn. In another universe, America's political spectrum has shifted far to the right; Ronald Reagan remained true to his early left-wing politics and is still married to his first wife Jane Wyman. In the past of some of the worlds, the young revolutionary Joseph Dzhugashvili (not known in these worlds as Joseph Stalin) had escaped from Russia to America in the 1900s, taking with him the proceeds of a robbery (the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery) conducted on behalf of the Bolsheviks and using the money to set himself up as a big American capitalist." ---wikipedia
