October the First Is Too Late
Fred Hoyle
Renowned scientist John Sinclair and his old school friend Richard, a
celebrated composer, are enjoying a climbing expedition in the Scottish
Highlands when Sinclair disappears without a trace for thirteen hours.
When he resurfaces with no explanation for his disappearance, he has
undergone an uncanny alteration: a birthmark on his back has vanished.
But stranger events are yet to come: things are normal enough in
Britain, but in France it's 1917 and World War I is raging, Greece is in
the Golden Age of Pericles, America seems to have reverted to the 18th
century, and Russia and China are thousands of years in the future.

Against this macabre backdrop of coexisting time spheres, the two young
men risk their lives to unravel the truth. But truth is in the mind of
the beholder, and who is to say which of these timelines is the 'real'
one?
