Farnham's Freehold
by Robert A. Heinlein

You Would Have Peace Then Prepare for War!

Hugh Farnham was a practical, self-made man. and when he saw the clouds of nuclear war gathering, he built a bomb shelter under his house, hoping for peace and preparing for war. What he hadn't expected was that when the apocalypse came, a thermonuclear blast would tear apart the fabric of time and hurl his shelter into a world with no sign of other human beings.

But Farnham's small group had barely settled down to the back-breaking business of low-tech survival when they found that they were not alone after all. The same nuclear war that had catapulted Farnham two thousand years into the future had destroyed all civilization in the northern hemisphere. And the world had changed in more ways than one.

In the new world order, Farnham and his family, being members of the race that had nearly destroyed the world, were fit only to be slaves. After surviving a nuclear war, Farnham had no intention of being anybody's slave, but the tyrannical power of the Chosen Race reached throughout the world. Even if he managed to escape. where could he run to...

This book makes you THINK - that automatically puts it beyond the pale for all-too-many readers today. And that's a pity, for there is a warning here. IF the reader is willing to read the book and LEARN from it.

The style is great but every time I tried to read it I invariably throw it away in disgust with every character in the book making it impossible for me to finish it.

While dated with some of the changes in the world today this remains a technical masterpiece, while being a great example of story telling.

I enjoyed this bood when I was a kid thirty years ago, and I am looking forward to re-reading it again. Robert was the master and there are few who had his vision and forsight. It is easy to inmagin these events now, but back then there was only H.G.Well and Jules Vern, and don't forget Mark Twain, and Egar Rice Burrous. Robert's story about a man who was willing to cut bait and run for his personal and his newly aquired familys safty is more relativent in today's world then when it was written. Some how he foresaw people with college degrees and their minds were full of usless mush. as always Rober His my hero, mentor who guide me through out my teen age years and adult hood.

I liked this book when I first read it 30 years ago, but was disappointed this time. It hasn't aged well. Think HG Well's Time Machine in an American setting! Each is a social commentary rather than science fiction!

7. Matthew on 12/30/2006, said:

Its an imaginably great what if from the master of what ifs. Farnham's Freehold boils down to the libertarian statement that all humanity is capable of horrors and that only a general live and let live attitude is tolerable. I'd give you more detail but it would spoil the plot of this insightful novel.

Heinlein's social commentary can be heavy-handed at times, but "Farnham's Freehold" is a solid read and a SF essential.
