SOMETHING WAS OUT TO GET HIM
After that firewalking gig in Polynesia, the whole world was suddenly
changed around him. Instead of fundamentalist minister Alexander
Hergensheimer, he was now supposed to be Alec Graham, an underworld
figure in the middle of an affair with his stewardess Margrethe – who was the only good thing in the whole mess.
Then there was an impossible iceberg that wrecked the ship in the
tropics. Rescued by a Royal Mexican plane, they next were hit by a
double earthquake. From then on, as changed world followed changed
world, things went from bad to worst.
To Alex, all the signs increasingly pointed to, Armageddon and the Day
of Judgment. And Margrethe was a determined heathen. Somehow he had to
bring her to a state of grace, for Heaven would he no paradise without
her. But time was growing short.
Somewhere, there had to be a solution to it all. And, of course, there was. But it was truly a Hell of a solution.
Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Anson Heinlein (1907–1988) was an American science fiction writer. Often called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was one of the most influential and controversial authors of the genre in his time. He set a standard for scientific and engineering plausibility, and helped to raise the genre's standards of literary quality.
He was one of the first science fiction writers to break into mainstream magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post in the late 1940s. He was one of the best-selling science fiction novelists for many decades. He, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke are known as the "Big Three" of science fiction.
