Book Overview

HUGO AND NEBULA FINALIST SAGA FROM THE AUTHOR OF"STAR TREK: BIOGRAPHIES" AND "STAR TREK: DISTRESS CALL"

The classic saga of space adventure, romance, and unbounded imagination. Brian Thorne was helpless, trapped in a magnificent crystal enclosure, as hired assassins closed in - his quest almost over before it had started. The woman he loved had vanished. Had she fallen in love with someone else? Been kidnapped? Or worse? Thorne had to know. His quest would lead him off Earth to Mars, then beyond the limits of time and space -to a destiny he could never have foreseen and the love he was seeking (though not quite as he had envisioned it).

"Rotsler at the top of his form." -Gregory Benford

This is the story that launched William Rotsler's writing career. He would go on to write more stories set against the same background, including his novel, To The Land of The Electric Angel. Highly versatile, he was soon in demand to write tie-in books for major science fiction movies and television series, from Star Trek to Iron Man to The Goonies, and many others. William Rotsler was a true Renaissance person. In addition, he was also a groundbreaking film director, a sculptor whose work graced civic buildings, and a celebrated and generous fan cartoonist (as a tribute The World Science Fiction Convention named its annual award for fan cartooning the Rotsler).
