About this book

Half a million years in the future, a lone traveller steps out of his time machine into an Earth he can barely comprehend. Humanity is long gone, and its place has been taken by the Amphibians, intelligent furry beings whose strange civilization he struggles to understand, and by the Dwellers, vast and enigmatic giants who rule the deep places of the world. S. Fowler Wright's 1929 novel is speculative fiction of real ambition, more interested in evolution, alien minds, and the limits of human perception than in easy heroics. Its dreamlike, unsettling far future has kept it a quiet favorite among readers of early British science fiction. Free to download as a PDF and EPUB edition.
