I would love to have the original version, as an ebook, of the Lancer paperback edition of One Million Centuries, by Richard A. Lupoff. [1967]. Below is an image of that First edition published by Lancer.
The later two versions out there were apparently revised by the author.
Here's a later version [1981]. This is the first paragraph of Chapter 1:
CHAPTER
1
A touch so light it was hardly there was the first evidence of returning consciousness. A touch, a feeling of cold through every bone and fiber, a gurgling, trickling sound, a sense of motion passing over his body, the touch. It moved from Parker’s hip toward one knee, a tiny pressure, tiny, incredibly delicate, yet it held the full consciousness of the man as he lay on his left side.
Here's yet a later version [2015 edition ??]. This is the first and second paragraph of Chapters 1 and 2:
chapter ONE
PARKER CURSED and brushed a heavily gloved hand across his sweating brown brow. He peered through the thick plexiglass window of the chopper’s cabin, the corners of his mouth tugging downward in annoyance at the blinding white flakes outside.
chapter TWO
[NOTE: This is the exact same paragraph as Chapter 1 from the 1981 edition.]
