Travel back in time a billion years to Hawksbill Station -- twice.
Join in this haunting tale of time travel, loss, betrayal, and redemption through both versions of Silverberg's Hawksbill Station in the same volume.
Includes the original novella and full-length novel versions of 'Hawksbill Station' plus an introduction and afterword, describing how each version came to be written.
Jim Barrett, once the leader of an underground movement bent on toppling America's corrupt totalitarian government, finds himself a political prisoner exiled to Hawksbill Station, a male only penal colony established on the barren landscape of the late Cambrian period East Coast of America.
Now a crippled old man and the camp's de facto ruler, Barrett struggles as all the others against their lonely existence, but finds the camp's newest arrival resurrecting old memories of his revolutionary past.
Robert Silverberg has won five Nebula Awards, four Hugo Awards, and the prestigious Prix Apollo. He is the author of more than one hundred science fiction and fantasy novels -- including the best-selling Lord Valentine trilogy and the classics Dying Inside and A Time of Changes -- and more than sixty nonfiction works. Among the sixty-plus anthologies he has edited are Legends and Far Horizons, which contain original short stories set in the most popular universe of Robert Jordan, Stephen King, Ursula K. Le Guin, Gregory Benford, Greg Bear, Orson Scott Card, and virtually every other bestselling fantasy and SF writer today. Mr. Silverberg's Majipoor Cycle, set on perhaps the grandest and greatest world ever imagined, is considered one of the jewels in the crown of speculative fiction.
