A chilling what if? tale of nuclear apocalypse in the American
heartland Philip Wylie’s gripping parable Tomorrow! describes a time
in America when doomsday threatens to dawn at any moment. A nation’s
worst nightmare is made palpably real, seen through the eyes of a
diverse group of ordinary citizens in two adjacent Great Plains
metropolises. Wylie brings this holocaust to life with blood-chilling
detail in his extraordinary science fiction classic whose power to
shock and terrify is as strong as ever more than fifty years after its
original release. An unthinkable tomorrow is on the horizon. For
the citizens of the neighboring Midwest cities of Green Prairie and
River City, today marks the end of everything. Some are prepared to
face the unthinkable; some refuse to believe it could ever happen. As
the winter holidays approach, two young lovers share their dreams for
the future, a corrupt bank officer fears the exposure of his crimes,
and a wealthy matron, concerned only with status and prestige, wonders
how she can ensure a marriage between her daughter and the scion of
one of the city’s most important families. But on Christmas Day,
when a terrible fire lights up the sky, all these petty human concerns
become meaningless. And the destruction and horror wrought on that
awful morning will only be the beginning of the end.
