Product Description

Product Description

'Washington destroyed completely before the government could escape. With Manhattan in ruins, that leaves no -'. There was a click as the television receiver was turned off. 'That's that,' said the man near it, 'The United States is washed up.' This was the terrifying scenario in which, unbelievably, the whole of Asia - some four hundred million people - in grave danger of defeat by America which now consisted of just six men. In a brilliantly imaginative novel guaranteed to keep the reader on tenterhooks from beginning to end, Robert A. Heinlein, the doyen of science fiction writers, has truly excelled himself.

4.0 out of 5 stars In Service of the Great God Mota, 19 Jan 2006
By M. Buck (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Day After Tomorrow (Paperback)
It's a strange world in this book, stranger than most modern scifi I've read, and I have to admit I like that. Modern sci-fi seems to focus on things that are either based clearly on our current science, or on Star Trek. This is different. The idea of forces we as yet know nothing about capable of curing disease, transmuting materials, killing at great range, protectinbg from attack...

I digress. The story starts off with the PanAsian alliance just having conquered the continental United States. Washington and Manhattan are destroyed, the sum total of the American military is reduced to six men in a secret bunker where several hundred others were killed under unknown circumstances. This book is about six men, fighting to the death, against over four hundred million.

5.0 out of 5 stars What i thought, 19 Jan 2010
By P. J. Bell "Readreadread" (England Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked up 'the day after tomorrow' with no idea what it was about, but was quickly grabbed by the concept.

What is it about;
The book is about a world dominated by the Pan-asian super state which has just successfully conquered the USA and the following fight back and resistance planed from a secret facility called the citadel and its six surviving personnel!

This book is brilliant for a number of reasons;
Firstly it looks at the unusual area of forces beyond the know scientific spectrums giving the user/s massive power and extensive capabilities.

Secondly it investeragate the interesting issue that even with near god like power a small number of individual (in this case six) still lack the capabilities to defeat a far large force without long term planning and recruitment.

Thirdly, it charts the point where science and religion meet with its complications.

Fourthly, much like James Herbert's book `others' it opening sentence and concept (in the case of `others' ; "My troubles started in hell") grabs you right away.

Fifthly and lastly much like the TV series 'Life on Mars' the through its total lack of political correctness the book reminds us of what was heard as normal statements about other races in the past. Particularly during wars against other nation states.

Overall this was a fascinating book to read. Through the racist comments during the occupation do at points make the modern reader uncomfortable.
