The City at Worlds End ♦ By Edmond Hamilton

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.
