Beyond The Great Oblivion (Darkness & Dawn Volume 2)
By: George Allan England

The second volume of George Allan England's classic "Darkness & Dawn" trilogy about a man and a woman from "modern" 1911 surviving in a savage New York that has reverted to jungle 1,000 years into the future.

Second in the series, picks up almost directly after the first book leaves off. This time, we learn that the dynamic duo are not the sole survivors of the presumably global catastrophe.

1000 Years After Our World Died - A Man and a Woman With the Future of Humanity in Their Hands - The distant future - New York is a jungle in more ways than one. Exotic flora and fauna thrive - savage tribes of cannibalistic sub-humans fight for dominance. It's a place of little hope The last vestiges of humanity set out across America's devastated landscape in search of their dream. Led by hope that dies and is reborn again at every turn - enticed onward by a mysterious and vast black chasm 500 miles deep - does the future threaten extinction for mankind? - or offer one last chance of redemption?
