From the catalogue
Joseph Schwartz is a retired tailor in Chicago, 1949. Suddenly, he's a helpless stranger on Earth during the heyday of the first Galactic Empire. Earth, as he soon learns, is just a pebble in the sky, despised by all the other 200 million planets of the Empire because its people dare to claim it's the original home of man. And Earth is poor, with great areas of radioactivity ruining much of its soil--so poor that everyone is sentenced to death at the age of sixty. Joseph Schwartz is sixty-two.
