About the book
Millions of years from now the sun has gone out. The last of humanity lives inside the Last Redoubt, a metal pyramid nearly eight miles high, while vast watching things sit motionless in the dark land around it. A young man inside hears a call from a girl in a second, forgotten pyramid, and goes out alone to find her. William Hope Hodgson's 1912 novel is a love story told in a strange, deliberately old-fashioned English, and one of the first great visions of the Earth's far future.
