A science-fiction classic in the H. G. Wells tradition, this gripping trilogy of tales recounts the adventures of a young couple transported 1,500 years into the future. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland inhabited by the debased remnants of humanity, they must not only survive but also lay the foundations for a new civilization. Includes a new Foreword by Jess Nevins.

Author and explorer George Allan England (1877–1937) was known as The American H. G. Wells for his speculative and science fiction. His stories, many of which reflected his socialist philosophy, were often serialized in pulp magazines of the early 20th century.
A young engineer and his secretary awake in the ruins of a Manhattan skyscraper to discover that they've been asleep for 1,500 years. The city's architecture isn't all that's crumbled―humanity has degenerated into roving tribes of murderous, misshapen creatures. Together, the survivors of the old world must escape from New York and not only survive but also lay the foundations for a new civilization.
Packed with drama, adventure, and romance, these gripping stories constitute a science-fiction classic in the tradition of H. G. Wells. Originally published as magazine serials, they first appeared in single-volume form in 1914. This edition presents all three of George Allan England's pioneering post-apocalyptic fables: The Vacant World, Beyond the Great Oblivion, and The Afterglow.
Dover (2015) republication of the edition published by Small, Maynard and Company, Boston, 1914.
