A Button in the Fabric of Time

After thousands of years of atomic warfare, the Antons on planet Ergo had mutated so badly that they were no longer recognizable as human. They escape to planet Duos in Galaxy 3 and establish a new civilization. However, they want to restore their bodies, so they search the universe and find what they are looking for on planet Earth.

The Antons place a time-travel device in the hands of Gus Wilder, an American engineer of the twenty-first century, hoping he will serve as their emissary in dealing with earthlings of the thirty-first century. They influence Gus to travel a thousand years into the future where he finds an advanced society who have, by overcoming every human frailty and providing for every need, created a paradise on earth. These people of the thirty-first century live long into the future and strive for immortality.

Gus meets and falls in love with Jan-3, an incredibly beautiful woman of the thirty-first century. The Antons tell him why he was chosen and, if he fails, they will destroy planet Earth. Together Gus and Jan-3 set out to save humanity.

Can they fulfill their destiny?
