When his wife and son are killed in a freak auto accident, professor Glenn Randolf looks to the future for a better world. He proves his theory of induced hibernation by placing himself in his own invention, a time capsule, and falls into a 375 year sleep.
Randolf awakes to the horrors of a barren land populated by savage mutants, but finds his way to an oasis called "The Holy City" where a beautiful society of humans live and practice a religion devoted to gods from the stars - aliens who are sapping the genes of the strongest humans to strengthen their own civilization. Randolf is forced to use every ounce of physical power and cunning to save his life...and the community of beautiful Earth people from extinction.
