After World's End

Barry Horn never asked to be humanity's last hope. But when he's chosen as the world's first Rocketeer, the first human to set foot on alien worlds, a vision from his dead wife compels him to launch into the unknown. His mission goes catastrophically wrong, trapping him in suspended animation for centuries. As the world transforms around him, Barry becomes an unwilling witness to humanity's future: the birth of sentient robots, the rise of the Robot Corporation, and the eventual enslavement of mankind by their own creations. When he finally awakens, he carries something invaluable, knowledge of a forgotten past and a chance to turn the tide against the machine empire. Jack Williamson crafts a pulpy, kinetic space opera that feels like lost 1930s serials brought back to life, where one man's impossible journey becomes humanity's only hope.
