Book description
Defying time, Jack Breton crosses into a parallel world to regain Kate
- the wife who, nine years earlier, was found raped and strangled in a
lonely park. But, in the alternate time-stream Kate is married to his
double, John. And for one husband to remain either Jack or John must
die. Bob Shaw (1931 - 1996) Bob Shaw was born in Belfast in 1931.
After working in engineering, aircraft design and journalism he became a
full time writer in 1975. Among his novels are Orbitsville, A Wreath of
Stars, The Ragged Astronauts and his best-known work Other Days, Other
Eyes, based on the Nebula Award-nominated 'Light of Other Days', the
story that made his reputation. Although his SF novels and stories were
for the most part serious, Shaw was well-known in fannish circles for
his sense of humour, and his witty 'Serious Scientific Talks' were a
favourite of attendees at Eastercons. Bob Shaw won two Hugos and three
BSFA Awards. He died in 1996.
