Horrified by the degraded state of civilization, he activates an infernal technology capable of destroying the modern world. Only Oro's beautiful superwoman daughter, Yva, who has fallen in love with Humphrey can stop him! Rudyard Kipling helped H Rider Haggard plot his only science fiction novel, which was published in 1919:- Review(s): "A really splendid romance, rich in color, fresh and gorgeous in its imaginative qualities and power, and needless to add, absorbingly interesting" - The New York Times, 1919 / "Rider Haggard has never conceived and placed before our eyes any pictures more thrilling and more impressive than are contained in this latest book" - New York Evening Post, 1919 / "If this is pulp fiction it's high pulp: a Wagnerian opera of an adventure tale, a B-movie humanist apocalypse and chivalric romance. H Rider Haggard's rich universe is both profoundly camp and deeply idealistic" - Lydia Millet, 2012:- (original cost $15.95).

A follow-up story, 'As Easy As A.B.C.' recounts what happens when agitators in Chicago demand the return of democracy. 'With The Night Mail' is set in 2000, and it first appeared in 1905; 2012 marks the centennial of the first publication of 'As Easy As A.B.C.':- Review(s): "It is a glittering essay in the sham-technical; and real imagination, together with a tremendous play of fancy, is shown in the invention of illustrative detail" - Arnold Bennett, 1917 / "A most remarkable little story. It is rather a fascist picture which Kipling gives us" - Norbert Weiner, 'The Human Use Of Human Beings', 1950 / "An amazing tour-de-force of inspired genius - Kipling in 1905, is doing things that science fiction as a genre wouldn't achieve until Robert Heinlein arrived in the late 1940s" - Bruce Sterling:- (original cost $12.95).

Paperback: 7½" x 5". Condición: Near Fine. Cover Art: Michael Lewy Ilustrador. 2012 Edition. © 1912: A stand-alone novel by Jack London. 1st printing of 2012 edition with an introduction by Matthew Battles. 1st in the 'Radium Age Science Fiction' series of books:- Synopsis: Outside the ruins of San Francisco, a former UC Berkeley professor recounts the chilling sequence of events - a gruesome pandemic which killed nearly every living soul on the planet, in a matter of days - which led to his current lowly state. Modern civilization has fallen, and a new race of barbarians, descended from the world's brutalized workers, has assumed power. Over the space of a few decades, all learning has been lost. The catastrophe happens in 2013; 2012 marks the centennial of the novel's first publication:- Review(s): "London's style is typically lush but his viewpoint is skeptical and dystopian. The story reminds us of the dangers we still court with our careless ways" - The Times, 1912 / "I knew Jack London was all about romanticizing nature and the frontier and primitive peoples and, you know, the wild. But this showed me a whole new realm of London's ambivalence about civilization. 'The Scarlet Plague' is not just among the first modern post-apocalyptic fictions - starting right about now, a global contagion wipes out all 8 billion earthlings - but maybe the most Edenic and winsome one ever" - Kurt Andersen, 2012:- (original cost $12.95).
