  • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 28. “”A much more literate and adult novel than the old World Wrecker’s earlier, cosmos -encompassing efforts, detailing the somewhat startling adventures experienced by a small townful of twentieth century inhabitants suddenly catapulted unexpectedly by the detonation of the ultimate weapon into an incredibly remote future wherein old Sol is a a virtually lifeless cinder and earth is a deserted and well- nigh forgotten world. This is a very well written and interesting novel indeed, though perhaps the sentimental aspects of it were a little overdone for my admittedly somewhat Philistine tastes, with many fascinating alien characters from the far-flung Galactic Confederation of allied worlds that now dominate the universe who come in reply to the stranded Earth-people’s desperate distress call, particularly Gorr Holl, the man-bear mechanic from Capella. He’s a corker. Reprinted in 1951 by Frederick Fell in hardcover, and then in paperback first in 1953 by Galaxy Science Fiction Novels, and then in 1954 by Corgi (England), and again in 1956 by Crest. “
