Blurb: “PARADISE LOST
The Future - and the planet Paradise is ruptured by war. Trans-Temporal Agent Alyx is specially transported from the past to guide eight VIPs to safety.

PICNIC ON PARADISE is the only science-fiction novel I've read at a single sitting in the past ten years... Here is adventure, not romanticized but as it really is: rough, dangerous and dirty, a-bristle with the unexpected, though with moments of high humour and surprising beauty. - Fritz Leiber
