Science Fiction England, George Allan: Darkness and Dawn, v.1, 05 Dec 2007

[BenG]

George Allan England was an explorer and author of, among other things, five science fiction novels and over a dozen magazine serials and short stories from 1905 on; these appeared predominantly in Frank A. Munsey's magazines, where he was one of the more popular writers of the pre-1926 period, ranking as the closest rival in science fiction to Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Darkness and Dawn is a trilogy of novels about a couple who awake after 1000 years in New York.

New York City – the end of the 3rd millennium. Monumental buildings in ruins. Central Park a jungle peopled by savage sub-humans. A huge black shape moving across the night sky occluding the stars. Civilization has vanished along with humankind. Into this hostile new world two survivors of our enlightened age awaken from 1000 years of slumber - to fall victims to a world gone wild? - or to give mankind a second chance?

BengG:

You didn't get any comments on your work for this, but I want to say thank you for putting together such a nice edition of this title.

I used to own all of the old Famous Fantastic Mysteries and Fantastic Novels, and this was one of the old favorites. Lin Carter thought highly of this novel, too.

I'm looking forward to rereading this great old novel of the fantastic.

Thank you,
Don
