The cover of this book, while great, is pretty misleading. Ron Hubbard, and that looks like a reprint of some short stories that they probably paid pennies for the rights to. It looks like the most notable author they touched, with the exception of Rainn Wilson’s dad, was L. The book is still terrible.Īlso worth noting is that the publisher of this book, Major Books, existed for only about four years. I can’t find a video of this, but Rainn confirmed this fact on the Maepisode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and even read an excerpt. My source for this is Wikipedia, although I saw some other mentions of this fact around the Internet. According to the ISFDB, Robert Wilson (Not Robert Anton Wilson or Robert Charles Wilson or any of the dozens of other Robert Wilsons) wrote two works of science fiction: this book and a 1945 novelette called “Vandals of the Void.” In fact, there’s very little information about this book at all. I could find no information on who did this amazing cover art. I mean, is that cover great or what? Some guy is fighting a giant bat, as is common, and the lady in red is in severe danger of slipping out of that tight red dress, as is also common. One look at the cover and I was like YES. This week’s read is brought to you by Morgan Maloney, a reader who came across this masterpiece and asked if I wanted to read and review it.

Together, they begin a drama destined to change the surface of this future world. The stranger gropes his way down through the living nightmare until the Prophetess appears to him in the bowels of the earth. At times they glimpse gigantic dramas being played by powers beyond their understanding-means of light streaking across the black sky and strange, rumbling mountains slowly moving through the dark. They carry torches dipped in oil and live in fear of the beasts and horrors that creep in the dark world beyond. Intelligent humans live near the protection of their caverns. The stranger awakes and the world is dark.
