A Million Years in the Future by Thomas P. Kelley
For countless millennia, Earth has been ravaged by the Black Raiders from the distant planet Capara. The last surviving Earthman, Prince Jan, is captured by the Raiders and taken to their home planet. The immortal and lascivious ruler of Capara, Queen Tara, decrees that Jan will fight for his life as a gladiator in the Great Games.
Jan’s only desire is to avenge his decimated planet, and a path to this goal lies on the forbidden Moon of Madness. It is said that a god lies dormant in the Black Tower, guarded by Vampire-Women. This god knows Queen Tara’s secret weakness, which, if exploited, will bring about the complete annihilation of Capara!
Will Jan overcome the Vampire-Women and learn the secret to destroy Capara? Will he perish in the Great Games? Or will he succumb to Queen Tara’s wiles? Anything can happen… a million years in the future!
A Million Years in the Future is a fantastic science fiction adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was originally serialized in Weird Tales in 1940, and has never been published in book form before.

Reviews:
“Thomas P. Kelley’s “A Million Years in the Future” is the greatest of his three novels to appear in Weird Tales. Kelley was a Canadian author who came along after the deaths of Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft to add some zest to the fading golden age of the magazine. The novel is good example of a kitchen sink fantastic adventure pulp story. It is a mix of sword-and-planet, space opera, and even some cosmicism on the lines of Olaf Stapledon’s First and Last Men.” (Morgan Holmes, Castalia House)
