Synopsis
A &“dark, restrained, and powerful&” mirror of current politics from the Science Fiction Grand Master (Science Fiction Ruminations). In the barren landscape of the late Cambrian period, a penal colony sits high above the ocean on the east coast of what would become the United States. The men—political prisoners—have been sent from the twenty-first century on a one-way ticket to a lifetime of exile. Their lonely existence has taken its toll . . . Jim Barrett was once the physically imposing leader of an underground movement dedicated to toppling America&’s totalitarian government. Now he is nothing but a crippled old man, the camp&’s de facto ruler due to his seniority. His mind is still sharp, having yet to succumb to the psychosis that claims more and more men each day. So when a new prisoner is transported to the colony—a startlingly young and suspiciously apolitical man—Barrett&’s instincts go on high alert. As Barrett reminisces about his revolutionary past, he uncovers the new prisoner&’s secrets—and faces a shocking revelation that thrusts him into a future he never dreamed possible . . . &“One of the finest writers ever to work in science fiction.&” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
