About this product
Product Information
As a bacteria threatens to wipe out humankind, a plutocrat sets himself up as the benignant dictator of a survivalist colony. In this novel originally published in 1923, as denitrifying bacteria inimical to plant growth spreads around the world, toppling civilizations and threatening to wipe out humankind, the British plutocrat Nordenholt sets himself up as the benignant dictator of a ruthlessly efficient, entirely undemocratic, survivalist colony established in Scotland's Clyde Valley. Discovering just how far their employer is willing to go in his effort to spare one million lives, Jack Flint, the colony's director of operations, and Elsa Huntingtower, Nordenholt's personal assistant, are forced to grapple with the question of whether a noble end justifies dastardly means.

"I've been particularly looking forward to this installment of the [Radium Age] series." -- Andrew Liptak, Transfer Orbit, "I've been particularly looking forward to this installment of the [Radium Age] series." -- Andrew Liptak, Transfer Orbit In Praise of the Radium Age Series: "Joshua Glenn's admirable Radium Age series [is] devoted to early- 20th-century science fiction and fantasy." -- T he Washington Post "Long live the Radium Age." -- The Los Angeles Times "It's an attractive crusade. [...] Glenn's project is well suited to providing an organizing principle for an SF reprint line, to the point where I'm a little surprised that I can't think of other similarly high-profile examples of reprint-as-critical-advocacy. " -- The Los Angeles Review of Books "Neglected classics of early 20th-century sci-fi in spiffily designed paperback editions." -- The Financial Times "New editions of a host of under-discussed classics of the genre." -- Tor.com "Shows that 'proto-sf' was being published much more widely, alongside other kinds of fiction, in a world before it emerged as a genre and became ghettoised." -- BSFA Review "A huge effort to help define a new era of science fiction." -- Transfer Orbit "An excellent start at showcasing the strange wonders offered by the Radium Age." -- Maximum Shelf s
