A Century of Progress - Mask of the Sun, Bk 2 Author:Fred Saberhagen SANDY IS DYING... A man who sits grieving is approached by a beautiful stranger with a message: "Your Sandy will live. Be here two weeks from today". W hat can she be, he thinks, but a sick-minded con artist? But when he returns to the hospital he discovers that his granddaughter is suddenly, miraculo... more »usly cured of her deadly cancer. Two weeks later, Norlund is a draftee in a war he never suspected could exist, a secret war in which two possible futures battle for existence in our present. One of them is descended from Nazi Germany.
Norlund starts out as a draftee too smart to believe in Good guys and Bad guys. After he sees a concentration camp that has been in operation for a millennium, he'll be a volunteer.
For centuries two meg-powers from the future have been waging war for control of timelines of history. Alan Norlund, a WWII airman vet, is promised a life saving cure for his granddaughter, if he will undertake a mission fifty years back in time to the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. Hitler with his 'angels' from the opposing power would like to take over our timeline and 1933 Chicago may be just the place to start.
