More about the book

Stalking the Past, Haunted by Future Terrors... Like a phantom, Edward Bush - expert time-traveller - moves at will through the mists of a primeval age. And like a phantom, the Dark Woman - whether a bizarre hallucination created by the stresses in his own mind or a ghost from some unknown future - haunts him at every turn. Bush has been recruited by a totalitarian world, trained to kill, and then sent back in time as an assassin. Throughout his journey, the Dark woman shadows him, posing new possibilities, new terrors... "Well written, evocative and disturbing ... (Aldiss) is a magician ... eminently readable" --Edmund Cooper, Sunday Times Front cover illustration by Peter Goodfellow
