In this book you’ll read about Mr. Field….A rich man with a vision, who saw that space was too big for the writers of his day (2257 A.D.) to handle. So he financed a time switch and lifted Thomas Wolfe from his deathbed in Baltimore (1938 A.D.). Then he sent Wolfe off to Mars in a space ship, praying that the time lines would hold long enough for Wolfe to turn out one more novel.“… . the Martian cities, immense and unbelievable, as numerous as stones thrown from some great mountain in a rushing and incredible avalanche, resting at last in shining mounds …” wrote Wolfe. “The odors - of Mars, the cinnamons and cold spice winds, the winds of cloudy dust and winds of powerful bone and ancient pollen… .”“Don’t die, Tom!” screamed Field. “Keep on writing!”
