This review is from: The Incredible Tide (Hardcover)
This haunting story happens just a little ahead of us -- after warring nations has caused a cataclysm and most of civilization has been swept away by the rising waters of a great flood...
Time began for Conan when he was twelve years old. Then, when the incredible tide swept over the earth, he was cast away on a small, remote island. Seabirds have been his only friends. Alone in the wilderness of water and mists, somehow wrestling life from sea and rock, he has existed for five long years. But there was a voice once...
When a rescue boat, gray and ominous, appears on Conan's small shore, he learns that few human beings are alive -- but that his own people are still at High Harbor. And in Industria, a crumbling cliff city of frightened slaves, the facists are trying to organize all survivors under the flag of the New Order.
Whether the gentle people or the fascists will prevail -- whether Conan will find the source of the mysterious voice that guides him -- whether the brave escape across unchartered oceans can succeed... these are questions that will keep you reading, fast, to find out how the story ends.
But, after you finish reading, you may find the story doesn't end. It echoes remains. Alexander Key writes about the future as though he had been there -- and and come back to warn us about the present.
