Ed Earl Repp 25 min read

Young Rog has always known he is different from his primitive river-tribe, taller, less hairy, thinking thoughts they do not, long before he finds the mysterious shining ball in the mountains.

Ed Earl Repp's 1941 story is a rousing post-apocalyptic and lost-world tale. Vivid, imaginative golden-age pulp. Read it for a colorful yarn of a superior youth among a degenerated tribe of the far future, whose discovery of relics from a lost age of science sets a grand adventure in motion, in the wonder-and-peril style of the classic pulps.
