<.;W
If the Black Death of 1348 had killed three­
fourths of the population of Europe instead
of one-fourth, what would have happened to
the world? Europe, weakened by the plague,
would probably have been conquered by the
Turks and the Americas would no doubt
have remained in the
hands of
the Incas,
Aztecs, and other Indian tribes.
Beyond the Gate of Worlds exim a fas­
cinating world where just these events have
occurred which is the setting for the breath­
taking new adventure by the allthor of
To
the Rock of Darius
and
Time of the Great
Freeze. Robert Silverberg begins this unique
story in I 96�½ as eighteen-year-old Dan Beau­
champ of New Istanbul (London), England
sets off to make his fortune in Mexico where
the mighty Aztecs are still in power, When
Dan hears that the scapegrace nephew of
King Moctezuma XII will reward followers
who help him found an empire, he joins the
prince's military expedition to the Upper
Hesperides, traveling, somewhat precariously,
in coal-powered Aztec automobiles! When
this mad venture turns out badly, Dan,
always open to ways of gaining power and
money by the fastest possible means, becomes
involved in other glittering schemes for
winning golden empires, schemes which
bring him many marvelous and funny ad­
ventures along the way, certain to delight.
