The City at World's End - Tapa blanda

A classic science fiction tale originally published in Galaxy Magazine.

A surprise nuclear war may cause the End of the World, but not the way anyone could have imagined.

In one split second they were hurled across time into a world a million years away.

One moment Kenniston was strolling down the quiet street, lost in pleasant reverie. The next moment the sky split open!

It split open, and above him was a burn and a blaze of light – so swift, so violent, that the air itself seemed to burst into flame.

Then there was silence – awful, suffocating silence.

Kenniston felt the chill of premonition – a shapeless terror that grew into a thing to evil to be borne alone.

The novel describes the shocking experiences of a group of ordinary people, catapulted by a mysterious explosion into the terrifying strange world of a million years hence. It is not a prophecy – but a warning.
