I picked this book up at a used book store in 2019.  I remember seeing this is my friend's room back in high school and thought it had a funny clock on the cover and I'd like to know more about that.  Just now getting around to purchasing it.  Now - to read it...

Imagine yourself suddenly and
without warning catapulted
into the distant past or into
the far-off future...


OCTOBER THE FIRST IS TOO LATE unfolds the incredible adventures on a planet twisted by time splits.  The familiar world of the 1960's has vanished everywhere except in England.  In Western Europe World War I is still raging.  Greece is in the Golden Age of Pericles.  America is thousands of years into the future, while Russia and Asia are nothing but a glasslike plain incabable of sustaining life - the final phase before the end of the earth as we know it.

Against this macabre backdrop of co-existing time spheres, two young men risk their lives to find the truth.  But the truth is in the mind of the beholder.  And who is to say who are the dreamers and who are the dreamed?  You and I, dear reader, may indeed be shadows, existing solely in the mind of some traveler through time...

Only a writer with the unique talent and imagination of Fred Hoyle, a world-famous astronomer and astrophysicist, could create such an authentic and mind-chilling novel as

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
