La Vie future (1936)
En 1936, malgré les mises en garde de pacifistes comme John Cabal, une Seconde Guerre mondiale est déclarée. La métropole d'Everytown, en Angleterre, n'est pas épargnée par les combats et Cabal a tout juste le temps de quitter la région. 1966. Les violents affrontements n'ont laissé que ruines à Everytown et la ville est dirigée par le Patron, un homme aux pouvoirs et à l'influence redoutable. C'est à ce moment que Cabal reparaît aux commandes d'un astronef. Détenteur d'une nouvelle technologie, il parvient à l'imposer à ses contemporains malgré les tentatives du Patron pour l'en empêcher. 2036. L'humanité a atteint un nouveau stade de développement. Mais déjà, la révolte gronde lors de l'envoi d'une fusée dans la Lune.
