Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Darkness and Dawn" by George Allan England is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story begins in a post-apocalyptic world, where the main characters, Allan Stern and Beatrice Kendrick, awaken from a long and mysterious sleep to find themselves in a desolate and overgrown city, once a bustling metropolis now reclaimed by nature. As they navigate their surroundings, they grapple with the implications of their survival amid a universal catastrophe that has seemingly wiped out all human life. The opening of the book introduces us to Beatrice Kendrick, who awakens disoriented in a ruined office, struggling to comprehend the bizarre new reality around her. She soon encounters Allan Stern, an engineer who shares her bewilderment but assures her that they are not alone. Together, they explore their new world, which is filled with remnants of the past and signs of a cataclysm that has led to the collapse of civilization. As they stand atop the Metropolitan Tower, they realize the magnitude of their situation: they may be the last remaining humans, and must now find ways to sustain themselves and possibly rebuild a new life in this strange, silent landscape.
