This science fiction narrative explores themes of time travel, tyranny, and survival. The story centers around a dictator who, after being overthrown, attempts to escape into the past using a time machine but finds himself stranded in a dangerous and unfamiliar time. The plot follows Hradzka, a dictator who escapes from a rebellion by traveling back in time only to have his machine sabotaged, leaving him in the First Century of the Atomic Era. Stripped of his resources and knowledge, he navigates this savage landscape, posing as a deaf-mute to blend in with the locals. However, his presence inadvertently carries deadly pathogens from his time, leading to an outbreak among the innocent inhabitants. As he tries to seize power and coordinate his return to dominance, those in power in the First Century begin to realize he is the source of their troubles, leading to a climactic struggle for survival. The narrative illustrates the consequences of power and the perils of meddling with time. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 69.0 (8th & 9th grade).
