AFTER 12,000 YEARS

Will there be any men on earth 12,000 years from now? If so, what will they be like? Will they be super-geniuses with atom-powered industry, magnificent cities, and happy people enjoying a freedom and abundance beyond the dreams of prophets?

Henry Merwin, the hero of this novel, finds an altogether different answer when a miscarriage of a scientific experiment sends him a hundred and twenty centuries into the future. In the course of his strange and exciting adventures he sees a world that is further from our own than ours is from the Cave Man. But it is a world that is a logical outgrowth of ours--and is brilliantly real, and, perhaps, prophetic.

Mankind is divided into three nations and four species and has developed a scientific civilization whose latest feat is regulation of the weather--with the result that wars are fought for climate control.

Into the vortex of one of these wars, Merwin is drawn against his will. The mechanized marriage regulations tear him from the girl he loves; and the equally mechanized military regulations threaten him with death for the crime of individuality. His service in the Department of Insect Distribution, and his amazing exploits in the last days of a crumbling world, lead toward a climax that is as breath-taking as it is vividly imaged and graphically told.

THE SUNKEN WORLD

THE WORLD of literature is full of Atlantis stories, but we are certain, that there has never been a story written with the daring and with such originality as to approach “The Sunken World.”

Science is pretty well convinced today, that there was an Atlantis many thousands of years ago. Just exactly what became of it, no one knows. The author, in this story, which no doubt will become a classic some day, has approached the subject at a totally different angle than has ever been attempted before; and let no one think that the idea, daring and impossible as it would seem at first, is impossible. Nor is it at all impossible that progress and science goes and comes in waves. It may be possible that millions of years ago, the world had reached a much higher culture than we have today.

Electricity and radio, and all that goes with it, may have been well known eons ago, only to be swept away and rediscovered. Every scientist knows, that practically every invention is periodically rediscovered independently. It seems there is nothing new under the sun.

But the big idea behind the author’s theme is the holding of present-day science and progress up to a certain amount of ridicule, and showing up our civilization in a sometimes grotesque mirror, which may not be always pleasing to our vanity and to our appraisal of our so-called present day achievements.

The point the author brings out is that it is one thing to have power in science and inventions, but that it is another thing to use that power correctly. He shows dramatically and vividly how it can be used and how it should be used.

From the technical standpoint, this story is tremendous, and while some of our critics, will, as usual, find fault with the hydraulics contained in this story, the fact remains they are not at all impossible.
