Inhaltsangabe

A thousand years in the dark. A single spark of rebellion.

Humanity is no longer the master of the world. Driven underground by the nightmare Shelk, the survivors of Earth have forgotten the sun, existing as fearful tribes in a labryinth of endless stone. To remain in the Corridors is to survive; to leave them is certain death.

But Tumithak of Loor refuses to die in the shadows.

Armed with a scavenger's wit and a warrior's heart, he ventures from the depths of Loor to the terrifying surface world on a brutal ascent toward a freedom humanity hasn't known for a millennium.

Experience the legendary pulp masterpiece that inspired Isaac Asimov's Caves of Steel — now restored to its original glory.
