Endeavour Venture, free

The Lords of Creation by Philip E. High

New collection of seven stories

Man was bringing life to the planets: a carefully balanced programme of flora and fauna, but that life had to come from Earth, pre-adapted to survive and flourish. Man smote the ice-bound worlds with a rod of fire; he breathed air upon their surfaces, built clouds in their skies, and granted life below. They were the lords of creation—or so they thought.

The cataclysm tore apart all they had known. Forced into hiding and shelter, mankind had lived for a thousand years beneath the Earth’s ravaged surface. But now they were digging upwards, to Topside, and a strange resurrection: to find themselves aliens on their own planet.

The Ancient Enemy arrived to wipe out humanity, but man possessed a peculiar defence mechanism it did not expect.

When the first interstellar explorer returned to Earth, the world, this new world, with its strange new Risk Economy was not at all as he remembered it.

Those who held a Time Ticket for a voyage into Earth’s past were about to discover that any past action must effect the future.
