Synopsis

Jack London's post-apocalyptic vision takes place in 2072, sixty years after an uncontrollable plague epidemic has depopulated the planet. James Howard Smith, one of the few survivalists left alive in the San Francisco area, tries to impart the value of wisdom of a world left behind to his grandsons as his time on Earth grows ever shorter.

About this title

Review:

'London's style is typically lush but his viewpoint is sceptical and dystopian...Like The 'Tempest' - that much earlier parable on the themes of exploitation and greed - London's story reminds us of the dangers we still court with our careless ways' --The Times
