Annotation

Dystopia of a world conquest by "Black, Brown and Yellow races", which takes place between 1904 and 1913. Japan is the dominant country. Much on the war and the novel acts as a plea for a better armed "white" world. The novel is described as written by the last "free" white. Nine-tenths of white men will never see a woman; the other one-tenth will be bred with the most beautiful white women and live in what are called "Fair Lady Colonies". The boys born will be slaves; the girls will become concubines for the dominant races. All whites not selected for breeding will be slaves working twelve-hour days and fed a rice diet.

Dystopia of a world conquest by “Black, Brown and Yellow races”, which takes place between 1904 and 1913. Japan is the dominant country. Much on the war and the novel acts as a plea for a better armed “white’ world. The novel is described as written by the last “free” white. Nine-tenths of white men will never see a woman; the other one-tenth will be bred with the most beautiful white women and live in what are called “Fair Lady Colonies”. The boys born will be slaves; the girls will become concubines for the dominant races. All whites not selected for breeding will be slaves working twelve-hour days and fed a rice diet. The author was born in Wales, moved to Aotearoa/New Zealand in the late 1880s and then to Australia, where he remained.
