Van Tassel Sutphen 4 hr 46 min read

In a ruined future America, the city-dwellers of Doom hold sway over a scattered, fearful people, and young Constans sets out through a fallen world to reclaim the keys of power.

Van Tassel Sutphen's 1905 novel is a vivid dystopian and post-apocalyptic adventure. Atmospheric, imaginative, ahead of its era. Read it for an early after-the-fall romance, where the crumbling relics of our civilization form the strange landscape of a hero's quest against the marauding Doomsmen.
