This is the story of a present-day town and its people—a small city in the Middle West whose fifty thousand inhabitants are suddenly projected into an unprecedented and terrifying situation.
As the result of a weird scientific cataclysm, Middletown and all its people find themselves hurled out of their own time into the far future of the Earth—an Earth grown old and alien and dying, an Earth long since abandoned by man. Here is the story of pompous Mayor Garris, and of Johnson, the scared electrician; of Hubble, the scientist, and of Mrs. Adams, who worried about her roses; of lovely Carol Lane and of John Kenniston, who felt a fatal guilt; of all the other members of this community who find themselves and their town forever marooned at the end of the world. And when, at last, these people of the present meet the people of the far future, people whose civilization stretches across the worlds of a thousand stars—then the present and the future clash in dramatic conflict, to produce one of the most startling and absorbing tales of Science Fiction yet to have appeared.
