Book description
One minute I was in New York...walking down Sixth Avenue, a private eye
on a two-bit job... Next minute I was in New York...a crazy town I
almost recognised - but Goebbels was speaking in Union square, Hitler
invited me to a cocktail party, and aliens from outer space were running
the whole show. Fun City it wasn't... Plucked from his own
"time", a pawn in a Galactic power play, Ron Archer fights his
way through a deadly maze of intrigue and conspiracy to an incredible
destiny at the end of the star lanes!
