THE FAR SHORE OF TIME
Held captive by the alien Horch, agent Dan Dannerman learns that the race of interplanetary conquerors has a more complex agenda that he once believed. Dannerman's escape and return to Earth prove to be just the beginning of a bold scheme to lead a revolt against the Beloved Leaders who control the Horch and numerous other alien races. The conclusion of Pohl's madcap Eschaton series provides a fitting end to a rollicking galactic escapade. Full of the author's biting wit, this sf adventure belongs in most collections.
