Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Children of the Chronotron" by S. J. Byrne is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around Earth's last immortals, the Xlarnans, who send an emissary through time in a desperate attempt to secure their survival as they face imminent destruction. The narrative hints at time travel, alternate realities, and the challenges of survival in a new world filled with unknown perils. The opening of the book introduces readers to the Xlarnans, a once-advanced race grappling with their failing environment and the threats it poses. As their world deteriorates, they create the Chronotron, a device for manipulating time, to send an emissary back to an earlier era. The transition then shifts to 1952, where we meet the protagonist Henry and his uncle on a flight, presenting a mix of adolescent angst and profound revelations about the existence of greater forces at play. The tension escalates when they encounter a mysterious alien who disrupts their reality, leading to chaos and uncertainty about their fate and the broader implications of their journey through time. The blend of personal growth and cosmic stakes sets the stage for an adventurous tale filled with intrigue and existential questions.
