What he hadn¿t expected was that when the apocalypse came, a thermonuclear blast would tear apart the fabric of time and hurl his shelter across two thousand years into a future both strange and appallingly familiar. In the new world order, Farnham and his family, being members of the race that had nearly destroyed the world, were fit only to be slaves. After surviving a global nuclear war, Farnham had no intention of being anybody¿s slave, but the tyrannical power of the Chosen Race reached throughout the world. Even if he managed to escape, where could he run to. . . ? <P> 2942974 book 1964 Farnham's Freehold total:1733|5:284|4:542|3:630|2:216|1:60| 1733 5973 2034 63 2 6 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1972 Mon Feb 16 07:15:41 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 15 18:42:13 -0700 2009
