Out of the misty future of New York come a man and a girl seeking vengeance on Dr. Turber of 1945, and behind them, a mystery that reaches from Peter Stuyvesant's day to the year 2445.

Ray Cummings's 1929 novel is a rousing hard-SF and time-travel adventure. Vivid, romantic golden-age pulp. Read it for a colorful Cummings time-romance spanning centuries of New York, where visitors from tomorrow, a sinister physician, and a shadowy girl weave a breathless tale of vengeance and wonder, in classic early-pulp style.
