"(...) From cavernous cities beneath the surface of the moon... Earth seems a sinister planet hanging in the sky. But to the Pluto colony, Earth Satellite Base holds the only possible reprieve from a terrifying death sentence.

Time has ended and man has begun his endless journey out into the Universe. Startling stories of time and space from a master of science fiction"..."
