Summary
Mr. Frostie is just a baby when his parents move, along with almost a thousand others, into the top-secret Mustard Seed time capsule. The move is occasioned by the mistaken belief that JFK's assassination puts WWIII in the thermonuclear starting blocks.
In Mustard Seed they discover a massive underground complex stretching through miles of ancient lava tubes, and Mister Frostie grows up in a familiar, almost mythical mid-century small town with parks and stores and movie theatres and schools, even a miniature golf course. It's a time capsule full of people meant to preserve a tiny seed of the human experiment—just in case the human experiment blows up in the lab.
But when a teenage Mister Frostie is banished to face certain death in the radioactive-zombie-mutant-cannibal hellscape above, he learns the surface world isn't a hellscape at all but has been wobbling on above their heads the whole time. He makes it his mission to bring the people of the duck-and-cover civilization up and into the glorious, mystifying, and often dismaying world above. What could possibly go wrong?
