About this book

A laboratory experiment opens a view of snowbound country where New York should be. In Ray Cummings's time travel novel, Rogers and his son Loto explain their discovery to a group of friends at a scientific club. Their account begins with an argument about the relationship between time, space and matter, then turns to a chemical screen whose unexpected light reveals a distant landscape.

The story pairs these conversations with scenes of arrival and exploration. A plane lands inside a mountain cavern filled with dynamos, branching passages and blue-white lights. Loto guides Rogers and George toward a city of palm-lined roads, flower gardens and large working dogs. Readers interested in older science fiction will find speculative ideas presented through questions and objections, alongside the practical details of movement through an unfamiliar world.
