H. Holmes, H.H. Pierre, Paul Piérre, Paul Transfer Point Produced from Galaxy Science Fiction November 1950 Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Transfer Point" by Anthony Boucher is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around a post-apocalyptic world where the remnants of humanity are slowly being wiped out by a new toxic element in the air, agnoton, which causes severe allergic reactions, rendering them unable to breathe. It explores themes of survival, love, and the nature of existence through the experiences of the remaining characters. The narrative follows Vyrko, the last man on Earth in a secluded retreat along with Lavra and her father, the scientist Kirth-Labbery. As the situation grows desperate due to the arrival of deadly yellow bands from an unknown source, Vyrko grapples with his role in preserving humanity through his writings. The interplay between hope and despair unfolds as he and Lavra's relationship develops amidst the backdrop of societal collapse. When Kirth-Labbery hints at the existence of a time machine, the story leads to an unexpected twist involving time travel, forcing Vyrko to confront both his past and future, ultimately questioning the cyclical nature of existence and the impact of his choices. The tale culminates in a poignant exploration of love and identity against an extraordinary sci-fi setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 75.5 (7th grade).
