Roughing It, Too: A Novel of 1986

by Richard Benyo

It is 1986, another year of Halley's Comet. Sam Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) was born under Halley's Comet in 1835 and died under it in 1910. And now--What's this?--he's returned with Halley's Comet. But very much against his will. The ultimate illegal immigrant, Clemens is being hunted by a rogue government agency that wants to make sure that all evidence of his existence in the year 1986 is erased, while the hapless scientists who brought him forward in time in a test run want to hide him away just long enough to repair their time machine so they can return him to his own time.
