“Truly a love story of the ages.” —The Orlando Sentinel

Drake Merlin has the perfect life, and Ana is the love of that life. He wants to grow old with her and share every experience, but a tragic hitch prevents their happily ever after: Ana is dying.

Diagnosed with a rare, incurable disease, Ana has no hope in the 21st century. Drake’s only gamble is to have Ana frozen in cryogenic sleep, hoping that future technology will one day provide a cure.

How far would you go to save the one you love?

Eons pass. Drake is revived again and again, traveling further into deep time to see if humanity has evolved enough to save her. He witnesses the rise and fall of civilizations, trying everything to bring her back. But nothing—not even a clone of his beloved—will satisfy his obsession. Only her full revival will do.

Millions of years pass before Drake learns there is finally hope at the "Omega Point"—the moment where the universe collapses, merging past and present.

But before he can save her, he must save what is left of humanity. Revived one last time, Drake must lead the fight against an alien race hell-bent on destroying the Solar System. It turns out that a "relic" from the past—where grit and violence were necessary for survival—is exactly what a pacifist future society needs to survive.

Acclaim for Tomorrow and Tomorrow:

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:

"I love this book because it blends genuine heart with 'hard' science. Charles Sheffield wasn't just an author; he was a mathematician and physicist who served as a Chief Scientist for Earth Satellite Corporation. He treats the physics of the far future with respect. If you enjoy stories that span billions of years but stay grounded in scientific possibility, this is a must-read for your collection."
