Hugo Award finalist author Rog Phillips launched his career with this then highly controversial science fiction novel. It was a simple little discovery, worked out mathematically - but it made the atom bomb seem inconsequential. The year is 2196, as seen from 1947. Most of humanity has been wiped out - not by atomic war, but by an atomic chain reaction. The rest huddle underground, safe from mutant creatures of all kinds, while struggling to find a way to reverse the process that lad to Earth's demise. You are about to read a real treasure: The never-reprinted, and at the time highly controversial, debut novel (previously published only in the December 1937 issue of Amazing Stories) of a major science fiction writer of the 1940s. This first ever book edition is even more of a landmark because it also features the original magazine editor's introduction of the author and the story, as well as an article the author wrote a few issues later defending his controversial premise and detailing the science behind it, including mathematical formulas.
"Phillips is the master of a new type of sf writing. Adventure, put plenty of thick, fascinating scientific information." -Robert Silverberg, Hugo & Nebula winner
"A very interesting story, well written and well plotted. I read it at one sitting. First rate!" -W. Paul Ganley, Weirdbook
