TIMELINER!Here we have a late fifties cover adorned with abstract art--the sort of art that doesn't really tell us much about the story inside the book. There's a man--presumably the protagonist--fractured into six tiny squares. There's a hazily-rendered back view of a naked woman. And the background is a mix of random lines and swirls in a fetching shade of grey. It's all rather bleh. Give me a science fiction cover depicting rockets, doughty astronauts and scantily clad space amazons in metallic bras any day!
The fascinating and provocative story of Hugh Macklin--an alien lost in endless futures--fighting desperately to return to his own era.
For the record, the book is about a man whose consciousness travels through time, jumping from host to host like the hero of "Quantum Leap". It's a well-written, if not particularly great book, with a nice twist at the end.
