DUST JACKET: Repaired; Moderately Creased; Lightly Scuffed; Lightly Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. A NOVEL BY THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR.

ALSO KNOWN AS: Portions of this novel have appeared in somewhat different format in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. JACKET DESIGN BY: Ann Silver. SYNOPSIS: Fred Pohl multiple winner of science-fiction's top awards presents a breathtaking romp through the energy-poor world of the 2020s--a gripping chase-intrigue novel with a highly unlikely stand-in for James Bond. One day the Reverend Hornswell Hake had nothing worse to contend with than the customary power shortages and his routine pastoral chores such as counselling the vivacious Alys Brant--and her husbands and wife. At nearly forty his life was placid almost humdrum. The very next day Horny Hake was first enlisted as an unwilling agent of the Team--secret successor to the long-discredited CIA--and then courted by an anti-Team underground group. In practically no time at all Horny and Alys were touring Europe on a mission about which he knew zip except that it was a new move in the Cool War the worldwide campaign of sabotage that had replaced actual combat. For the team and its opponents though the Cool War could be as perilous as any hot one as Horny Hake discovered when he came up against: Leota lovely leader of the underground cabal dedicated to destroying the Team; Yosper the Bible-thumping foul-mouthed nonogenarian killer; The Reddi twins professional terrorists who turned up in the oddest places at the worst times and always managed to make Horny's life miserable; And Pegleg master of such lethal toys as the Bulgarian Brolly and the Peruvian Pen. Picaresque and fast-moving The Cool War is also a deeply ironic often hilarious yet thought-provoking look at where we could be some forty years from now. Book Club BCE/BOMC. Hard Cover. Good/Good.
