Synopsis: From the front flap of the Gregg Press edition: "The Long Way Home is quintessential early Anderson - a colorful, action-packed adventure novel about a group of spacefarers who return from one of the first interstellar expeditions from Earth and discover to the their great shock and horror, that they have been travelling in time as well as space. The world they have come home to is light-years ahead of the one they left behind and more foreign and hostile than an alien world they could imagine. ... This first hardcover edition offers the full original text preferred by the author, as well as a new introduction by Poul Anderson on the genesis of the work."
