| Annotation | Lost Egyptian race eutopia in Africa. All the people are tall, well-formed, and appear to be no older than middle aged. This is made possible by controlling what people eat and limiting work hours. Everyone above twenty-five is a teacher and everyone learns a wide variety of trades. All goods are free for the asking. At eighteen couples are assigned marriage partners after a detailed mental and physical examination. Animals larger and better formed than usual. Lots of gold, onyx, and jewels. On the Day of Resis, the only national holiday, all who have reached the age of sixty-five are put to death. Much of the novel is a standard lost race novel with adventure and the escape of the outsiders. |
