“[A] pomegranate writer: popping with seeds—full of ideas.” —Ray Bradbury

A mind-bending, time-traveling novel from an undisputed master of the genre.

During World War II, four humans are hurled a billion years forward in time by a being from an alien galaxy. They have been brought to a dying Earth—to Carcasilla, Earth’s last citadel—where the mutated remnants of humanity are making their final stand against the monstrous creations of a fading world.

Thrust in the middle of this desperate struggle for survival, the last humans search for a way to break the deadlock in the Armageddon at the end of time.
