The City at World's End

by Edmond Hamilton

Readers are transported to the sleepy town of Middletown. Nestled in the serene hills of Connecticut, life is peaceful until an unforeseen catastrophe strikes. Unimaginable destruction rains down upon Earth when a cosmic disaster hurtles the entire town far into the distant future. Stranded in a time where the stars have shifted and civilizations have fallen, Middletown finds itself in a desolate, alien landscape. The city becomes a refuge for its bewildered residents, who are forced to adapt and rebuild amidst the ruins of a once-thriving world. But this new era is far from tranquil. The future Earth is a dangerous place, and the surviving inhabitants must confront mysterious and formidable adversaries. As they strive to understand their new reality, the citizens of Middletown uncover long-lost secrets of the universe that challenge their perceptions of time and space. Among the survivors are the brilliant scientist John and his spirited love interest, Middletown's mayor, Evelyn. Together, they lead the fight for survival, seeking a way to safeguard their community from impending doom. Yet, lurking in the shadows is an insidious force that threatens not only their existence but the very fabric of time itself. "The City at World's End" is a gripping tale of resilience, friendship, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of the unknown. Edmond Hamilton weaves a vivid tapestry of a civilization struggling to rebuild, and explores the eternal question of how humanity responds when confronted with the unfathomable.
