The Chapter Ends

The Chapter Ends is a science fiction short story by Poul W. Anderson first published in 1954.

Far, far in the future the Earth is still spinning around the Sun, on the edge of the galaxy, dozing in obscurity, forgotten by it's trillions of progeny and completely irrelevant.

But this doesn't matter to the few millions who still live there in simplicity and quiet happiness.

But then interstellar politics dictates that they must all leave Earth because ... well, listen to the story as told by the great Poul Anderson as he explores what the Earth means to humans and to one man in particular.

Total Running Time (TRT): 1 hour.

The Chapter Ends was first published in Dynamic Science Fiction in January 1954.

Poul William Anderson (1926-2001) was an American science fiction author who began his career during one of the Golden Ages of the genre and continued to write and remain popular into the 21st century.
