Description
A nuclear holocaust sends a brave family into a future where they are considered traitors and sub-humans. They must fight to survive in a world where lifeboat ethics rule, until they're discovered by up-time humans who are the survivors of the apocalypse. These up-time humans are from African descent, while all European-descended individuals are held guilty for the state of the world and designated as automatic slaves. The only escape is to find a way back down-time, to change events sufficiently to prevent this nightmare future from occurring in the first place. Robert A. Heinlein's science fiction novel explores themes of survival, freedom, and the struggle against oppression in a post-apocalyptic world.
