THE WORLD-WRECKER UNLEASHED

My first introduction to the Time Beast was at the
auction at Gannets, where I looked up to see a strange man wearing a blue and
yellow checked Corinthian helmet. He not only looked like me, but I knew for
sure he was me. . . . Then the headless body fell out of the chest I was going
to bid on, and the unknown girl ran down the corridor, chased by an iron-
booted, red-fanged horror, a creature of Khamushkei the Undying.

For the Time Beast was tossing us around in time and
space, and interfering with the orderly flow of human existence. And unless we
could stop it, to find a way to lock the Time Beast back in his vault, our
civilization would suffer the fate of that other forgotten world of seven
thousand years ago. It was the CYCLE OF NEMESIS starting all over again.

Seven thousand years ago one of Earths earliest
civilizations was confronted by a menace from the stars-and died in a
world-shaking effort to destroy that cosmic monster. But the death of that
forgotten empire was not in vain, for they did succeed in entombing that dimension-shaking
thing out of sight and harm to humanity.

But even their efforts could not make that burial
permanent-and after seven millennia the monster stirred again, cracking through
the time-weakened barriers to assault the new world of today.

This is a stunning novel of time and space, of
desperate adventure through lost worlds and future phantasms, as a small band
of valiant men fight the shattering power of an extra- galactic nemesis.
