The real world is unbearable to madcap inventor Harry Gerber, so he uses his genius to twist the laws of science and create his own tailor-made universe. Master of Space and Time combines high physics and high jinks, blurring the line between science and magic. From a voyage to a mirror-image world where sluglike parasites make slaves of humanity, to trees and bushes that grow fries and pork chops, to a rain of fish, author Rudy Ruckertwo-time winner of the Philip K. Dick Awardtakes readers on the ultimate joyride. But once the gluons at the core of Harry's creation run out ...disaster looms for Harry and his friends.
