A man and a woman wake in a ruined skyscraper to find a thousand years have passed and humanity has vanished from a wild, empty Earth.

George Allan England's 1914 novel is a sweeping early post-apocalyptic epic, following its two survivors through a depopulated world of ruins, savage races, and the long struggle to rebuild civilization.
