Two Hawks From Earth
by Philip Jose FarmerFarmer writes: This novel was first published in 1966 and then in 1971 as The Gate of Time. That was not my title. I have no idea why the editors changed it, since this is not a time-travel tale, and their tale certainly was misleading. So I have restored the original, Two Hawks From Earth. The editors of that house also rewrote a scene to bowdlerize it. This was done without my knowledge, and so I have restored that scene. Also, I have added about ten thousand words. These include some chapters which go beyond the original ending.
