M P Shiel
| "The very accent of Edgar Allan Poe." Dorothy L Sayers |
| "A magician." Dashiell Hammett |
| "A master of the written word and a virtuoso of the imagination." L P Hartley |
| "Here is a wilder wonderland than Poe ever dreamt of... It is Poe, perhaps, but Poe with an unearthly radiance." Arthur Machen |
| "A flaming genius! At his best he is not to be touched, because there is no one else like him." Hugh Walpole |
A purple vapor passes over the world and annihilates all living creatures except Adam Jeffson. He embarks on an epic journey across a silent and devastated planet, an apocalyptic Robinson Crusoe putting together the semblance of a normal life from the flotsam and jetsam of his former existence.
