Written in 1906, this is London's terrifying and visionary novel of a society where social revolution is brutally crushed by The Oligarchy, a vicious State machine constructed to destroy and enslave all resistance and opposition to market forces. Transcending genre, this is an exciting mix of science fiction, social polemic, and a timeless romance, as well as being a typical Jack London action adventure story.

"This, then, is our answer...We will grind you revolutionists down under our heel, and we shall walk upon your faces."
