| Summary |
"Flight Through Tomorrow" by Stanton A. Coblentz is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative explores the consequences of advanced warfare on humanity and delves into themes of human survival, the future of civilization, and the enduring nature of hope amid desolation. The book is a speculative reflection on the fragility of human existence and the potential for renewal in a post-apocalyptic world. The story follows a chemist who discovers a drug, Relin, that allows the mind to travel through time and space while the body is in suspended animation. After taking the drug, he experiences a series of harrowing visions set in a devastated future where humanity has nearly perished due to destructive conflicts. As he witnesses the bleak remnants of society, he ultimately encounters a small group of survivors who embody the last vestiges of hope for mankind. The tale culminates in a moment of transcendence as these survivors are taken by a radiant being to another planet, suggesting a pathway for humanity's rebirth despite its tragic history. Through a journey of exploration and revelation, the book contemplates the depths of despair and the potential for redemption within the human spirit. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
