Description

Agatha Windham has lost her mind. Surely. Otherwise she wouldn't have nightmares about a small Jewess who is captured during WWII. Nor would she watch a German farmer step into her office out of a stained-glass window and request her help. After all, she lives in 1982 Cape Cod, and he just walked into her life from 1942. The Other Side of Time is a love story that draws a grieving widow into a time-travel adventure. Forty years peel away when she finds herself in the middle of WWII where show more capture, terror, and war confront her--but also new love. Yet her return to life in 1982 is equally threatening when she is faced with former Nazis bent on silencing her before she can reveal their despicable secret. Deal with both lives Agatha can and must while she decides on which side of time she wants to spend the rest of her life. But, before she can choose, her decision is cruelly snatched from her, and she must find a way back to the man she loves on the OTHER SIDE of time. show less

La novela comienza cuando el coronel Bayard es requerido en Estocolmo, donde se le interroga sobre el funcionamiento del Imperio y su Red de mundos alternativos. A todo esto se encontrará con un ser ígneo con el que tendrá un extraño enfrentamiento que le llevará a un mundo distinto al que conocía.

‘Al otro lado del tiempo’ (The Other Side of Time, 1965), del estadounidense Keith Laumer, es una excelente historia de ciencia ficción, viajes en el tiempo, mundos alternativos y ucronías. Ha resultado un pulp muy entretenido, con algún concepto increíble, visto recientemente en la película de Christopher Nolan Tenet.
Shorter version appeared in Amazing Stories, April-June 1965
El hombre ígneo es el primer contacto que tiene Bayard con seres de mundos allende su línea de origen en el universo… Después, conoce a los Hagroon, caníbales, invasores brutales que pretenden destruir el Imperio… Y a Dzok, poseedor, como sus congéneres, de fantásticos conocimientos científicos… Y a Olivia, la bruja confinada en un mundo atrasado, soñado en ptros universos presentidos…
Desplazado de una realidad a otra, el coronel Brion Bayard debe regresar del tiempo nulo, d ela otra parte del tiempo para evitar el cataclismo de su mundo combinando pasado, presente y futuro… Es imposible preverlo todo, y mucho menos la posible amenaza de tener como adversario a otro coronel Brion Bayard de increíble parecido con sí mismo
