Robert A. Heinlein - Farnham's Freehold - Audiobook





Robert A. Heinlein-Farnham's Freehold-Audiobook
As the novel develops, the family finds itself marooned in a distant future where a decadent but technologically advanced black Muslim culture keeps either uneducated or castrated whites as slaves. Each of the characters adapts to the sudden role reversal in different and sometimes shocking ways. In the end, Farnham and Barbara, his daughter's guest, fail to adjust to the new situation. They volunteer, though they speculate that if they didn't volunteer they would have been forced to anyway, for a time-travel experiment to send them back in time. They return just prior to the original nuclear attack, and flee in Barbara's car. As they drive, they realize that while Barbara had driven a car with an automatic transmission, this car - the same car in every respect but one - has a manual transmission, and Farnham deduces that the time-travel experiment worked, but sent them into an alternative universe. They survive the war, then spend the rest of their lives trying to make sure the future they experienced does not come to pass.
