Synopsis

Classic science fiction novel, first published by Doubleday in 1957; this is a trade paperback edition. A unique plot element sets the story in motion: 15000 years ago, a small group of space-traveling aliens crash on Earth; their ship hopelessly damaged. They place themselves in suspended animation, expecting to awaken in the future when Earth has developed its own technology for spaceflight. But they awaken 200 years too early...

About this title

About the Author:

Chad Oliver (1928-1993) Chad Oliver was the working name that US anthropologist and writer Symmes Chadwick Oliver used for his SF titles. He was born in Ohio but spent most of his life in Texas, where he studied for his MA. He later took a PhD in anthropology at the University of California, which lead to his appointment as a professor of anthropology at the University of Texas, Austen. Oliver's SF work reflected both his professional training and personal roots: much of it is set in the outdoors of the US Southwest and most of his characters are deeply involved in outdoor activities. Oliver was also always concerned with the depiction of Native American life. His first published story, "The Land of Lost Content", appeared in Super Science Stories in November 1950.
