Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tickets to Paradise" by D. L. James is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Curt Lavin, who embarks on an adventure in the deserts and mountains of Iran with an archaeologist named Dr. Champ Chadwick. Their journey takes an unexpected twist when they encounter a mysterious figure, Rog Tanlu, who claims to be a refugee from the Ice Age and introduces them to the enigmatic Ice Stone, a legendary artifact that allows a person to travel through time. The narrative unfolds as Lavin and Chadwick assist Rog Tanlu, who reveals that the Ice Stone is a complex device capable of suspending time, allowing its user to travel half a million years into the future. As they navigate this strange new reality, they must confront Tanlu's enemies and explore the implications of the Ice Stone not only for themselves but for humanity at large. Through thrilling experiences and the revelation of advanced technology from an ancient civilization, the story raises poignant questions about the nature of time, history, and survival. Ultimately, Lavin is left to reconcile the extraordinary events and their consequences while looking forward to a potential new beginning.
