He Owned The World
Charles Eric Maine
This was pretty unique, as far as classic sci fi goes, but at the same time was stuck in the cold war. Astronaut Robert Carson died attempting to be the first man to orbit the moon, then was brought back 8000 years later, and through a series of improbable events turned out he was the heir to a trust in his name that essentially owned all of Earth.
There were some interesting bits... a society of immortals living on Mars fighting those on Earth living underground, while a separate society of those that survived nuclear holocaust and were still mostly human lived on the surface.
I think he was going for Martians being the Russians, as they were essentially a military dictatorship, but it wasn't always clear. Unfortunately, the book ends suddenly without resolution for anyone but Mr. Carson, and includes a twist that made me cringe.
It did make me think the author could have other good books, this one just was sort of the hint of one that didn't really deliver.-Goodreads
