From cavernous cities beneath the surface of the moon...
Earth seems a sinister planet hanging in the sky. But to the Pluto colony, Earth Satellite Base holds the
only possible reprieve from a terrifying death sentence. And on Earth
itself, alien intelligence prowls the skies, kidnapping people for its
own inhuman amusement.
This is the day past tomorrow. Time has ended and man has begun his endless journey out into the universe.
Startling stories of time and space from a master of science fiction.
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.
