When the Syrian uprising began in March 2011, no one envisioned mass atrocities on the scale we are witnessing today. No one foresaw the displacement of millions that would dramatically reshape regional demographics.

Predicting the future is easy. But which future? The possibilities are endless. The modern world ended in 2051. That was ten years ago, when Tony was eleven years old. Unbearable heat and frequent superstorms have rendered Arkansas unlivable. A refugee from Colorado, Tony is one of only three people left in the camp at Kings River. He should have gone north with the others. Why is he still here? Hannah thought she would live on the Missouri farm where she grew up forever. Now, she knows she must leave. Not because of the raiders. As far as Hannah knows, the raiders have already gone. The ...

Man’s sophistication in the techniques of destruction seems hardly to be outdistancing his willingness to destroy himself. Numerous scientists have stated that we are fast approaching a time of such overpopulation that our planet simply won’t be able to produce enough food to feed everyone. That within a very few years — quite possibly in the present decade — millions will starve to death, or be killed in global wars as nations strive to exploit the available food supplies.

When George is transported to a far-future Earth, he finds himself caught between two very different species of humanity: the Amphibians, dwellers of the deeps, who can also maneuver on land; and the giant Dwellers, rulers of the large island that constitutes the surviving major land mass, whose main settlements lie deep beneath the surface. With the help of one of the Amphibians, George goes looking for any sign of two earlier time-travelers, neither of which has returned.
