| Summary: | When advertising artist Si Morley is recruited to join a covert government operation exploring the possiblity of time travel, he jumps at the chance to leave his mundane twentieth-century existence and step into New York in January 1882. Aside from his thirst for experience, he has good reason to return to the past-his friend Kate has a curious, half-burned letter dated from that year, and he wants to trace the mystery. But when Si falls in love with a woman he meets in the past, he will be forced to choose between two worlds-forever. |

| Author Notes: | His first novel, "Five Against the House" (1954), told the story of five college students who plot to rob a casino in Reno. A year later he published "The Body Snatchers" which was later reissued as "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Many critics interpreted the insidious infiltration by aliens as a cold-war allegory that dramatized America's fear of a takeover by Communists. Mr. Finney maintained that the novel was nothing more than popular entertainment. The 1956 film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" was remade twice. With "Time and Again," Mr. Finney won the kind of critical praise and attention not normally accorded to genre fiction. Finney died November 16, 1995 of pneumonia and emphysema at Marin General Hospital in Greenbrae, Calif. He was 84. (Bowker Author Biography) |
