註釋

Armageddon 2419 A.D. is Philip Francis Nowlan's novella which first appeared in the August 1928 issue of the pulp magazine Amazing Stories. A sequel called The Airlords of Han was published in the March 1929 issue of Amazing Stories.The main character and the narrator in Armageddon 2419 A.D. is Anthony Rogers, who later appearss as "Buck Rogers". Rogers recounts the events of the "Second War of Independence" that precedes the first victory of Americans over Hans, in which he plays an important role.While investigating one of the lower levels of a mine, there was a cave-in. Exposed to radioactive gas, Rogers falls into "a state of suspended animation, free from the ravages of catabolic processes, and without any apparent effect on physical or mental faculties." Rogers remains in "sleep" for 492 years. He awakes in 2419 and, thinking that he has been asleep for just several hours, wanders for a few days in unfamiliar forests (what had been Pennsylvania almost five centuries before). Thereafter he joins a gang and by various means is successful in defeating the enemies.
