Default Word of the Day

FROOMB

It's a word that's been in my head a long time, and it describes a sensation that's not easily forgotten.
source: Froomb! (1964) [Novel]
by John Lymington
"Fluid's running out of my brakes" spells FROOMB!

Was it heaven, or was it hell? John Brunt wasn't too sure, but wherever he was, he was frightened.

The newspapers and the government also wanted to know where he was. THey suspected that the great scientist David Packard knew where the tough and womanizing adventurer was, but no one calculated that John Brunt had been sent on the last exploration left to man -- an escape into the future. Not even John Brunt could have known the implications of such a terrifying journey until he found himself in the world beyond the present.

Through his harrowing adventures, Brunt realizes the holocaust the world he has left behind is about to encounter, but would he be able to return to it before it was too late? And would he be able to remember what he had witnessed on the other side of time?
