The year is 2073, sixty years after a devastating global pandemic known as the Scarlet Plague has wiped out most of earth's population. James Smith is one of the few survivors, living in the ruins of what was once San Francisco. He tells his grandsons of what life was like before the plague, when advanced technology and complex societies flourished.But civilization was unable to defend itself against the rapid spread of the airborne Scarlet Plague. Within days, millions were dead. Those spared eventually resorted to primitive, survivalist behavior as global infrastructure collapsed.Sixty years later, Smith and his family struggle for subsistence, haunted by fading memories of the once great world they lost. And now, the signs of a second outbreak are looming. The Scarlet Plague, Jack London's 1912 post-pandemic vision, dramatizes both the fragility and the tenacity of human society in the face of biological devastation-perhaps a warning of what could actually come to pass.Newly designed and typeset, printed on archival-quality, acid-free paper

It is the early 20th century and the mysterious oligarchy known as "The Iron Heel" has risen to power in the United States, establishing a brutal authoritarian regime. Fearless activist Avis Everhard attempts to alert an incredulous public to the creeping danger of the emerging plutocracy and its plans for complete subjugation of the working classes.As Everhard and her fellow socialist revolutionary Ernest rise to prominence, a violent political struggle erupts, with the Iron Heel ruthlessly determined to protect its grip on power at any cost. Everhard risks her life to document the truth as militant unions and guerilla forces take up arms against the brutal capitalist dictatorship.But defeating the technology-enabled Iron Heel proves a far greater challenge than anticipated. Despite bloody repression and fabricated propaganda, the grinding wheels of dictatorship tighten inexorably as the regime's figurehead "Oligarchs" are revealed as puppets of a shadowy elite.Jack London's 1908 novel blends politics, technological speculation, action, and romance while offering his chilling vision of a dystopian American future under the boot of a fascistic one-percent-a seminal work of political speculative fiction that foreshadows many of the issues we face in our modern age.Newly designed and typeset, printed on archival-quality, acid-free paper
