pickAs with some music videos where I have no idea wth the video has to do with the song, I have no idea what this cover has to do with the book. I wanted to read the book with the Litsy sci-fi group but could not find that book, but was at a used bookstore where I found another of the author‘s books from 1974. This was great. Time portals open up all over the world and people 500 years from the future walk through. Humanity is about to be killed 👇🏼
Reggie off by a not so nice alien species so this is their escape. To come back to their past. I think the author is brilliant in how he captured what we do as a society when 2 billion more show up on our doorstep. The part that got me was that there is this editorial writer who surmises that such a situation would not be so easy for our government to tackle and it would be so easy to pick apart all the ways they would fail, but instead of doing that👇🏼 (edited) 9mo
Reggie he promises to just keep his mouth shut. I don‘t know why that caused me to get choked up. Giving grace? The ending is quite clever and gave me a chuckle. This was a pick! (edited) 9mo

wanderinglynn Secondhand bookstores are the best! If you‘re still interested, I found Way Station on Thriftbooks. 9mo
wanderinglynn And can you imagine if the premise of this book happened today? The world population in 1960 was at 3 billion. We‘re nearly quadruple that today. Add another 2 billion & wow! 9mo
vivastory This sounds great! Stacked 9mo
Ruthiella Sounds great! Does your library have Hoopla? That‘s how I read it because none of my libraries had it available in hard copy. 9mo
RohitSawant Awesome review! Stacking. 9mo
Reggie @DestinyMorna yeah, I loved this one because it looked like a fire hazard. lol. Every shelf was packed with books on top of shelves, in front of the shelves, at the end of the shelves with boxes near full of books waiting to be put somewhere. It was heaven. 9mo
Reggie @wanderinglynn I can. I think it would get kind of ugly in today‘s world. But there‘s a lot more to this 188pg book. Also, I looked for this book on Hoopla and swear I couldn‘t find it. But once @Ruthiella said she found it there, I looked again and it was there. So thanks. 9mo
Reggie @vivastory and @RohitSawant its very prescient. Lots of links to what‘s happening today. It‘s a slim book that packs a lot. Hope you guys like it. 9mo
Centique This sounds like the kind of book that gets me obsessed and then ties my brain in knots trying to figure out ways to improve or rectify situations That Could Never Actually Happen. 🤯 Also filed under this category: Manifest (tv show) 9mo
