About the book

Depicts the adventure of three Englishmen who uncover a pair of 250,000 year old super-humans in suspended animation. The super-humans, awakened, view Europe in the midst of the First World War and decide that human civilization must be destroyed.

First sentence: I suppose that I, Humphrey Arbuthnot, should begin this history in which Destiny has caused me to play so prominent a part, with some short account of myself and of my circumstances.
