Book description
In the year 2794, the greatest civilisation in Earth's history, ravaged
by over-population and lack of food, faces almost certain destruction. A
handful of men and women struggle desperately to avert the coming
holocaust, but they seem doomed to failure. And even if they succeed,
Earth will never be the same again . . . James Blish (1921-75) studied
microbiology at Rutgers and then served as a medical laboratory
technician in the US army during the Second World War. Among his best
known books are Cities in Flight, A Case of Conscience, for which he won
the Hugo in 1959 for Best Novel, Doctor Mirabilis, Black Easter and The
Day After Judgement.
