A Robert A. Heinlein classic reissued with an all new celebrity Foreword bynoted Heinlein biographer Bill Patterson and Afterword penned by three-timeaward-winner for fan writing and science fiction scholar John Hertz.

It’s a cross-time fight for freedom as a family retreats to a bombshelter during a nuclear attack — only to emerge hundreds of years in thefuture, thrown forward in time by the blasts.

There, lifeboat ethics rule asthey struggle to survive...until they’re discovered by up-time humans, thesurvivors of the apocalypse, of African descent.

Down-time humans — infact, all of the European-descended — are held guilty for the state intowhich the world has fallen and designated as automatic slaves.

The only escapeis to find a way back down-time, to change events sufficiently to make absolutecertain this nightmare future never gets a chance to happen in the firstplace!
