Annotation

Mostly adventure but includes an isolated authoritarian dystopia, called Ordsborough, established by one man in the N.W. of Australia for his own benefit. The novel follows the conventions of the lost race novel, with a beautiful woman held captive and finally rescued. Although the title page is as her, the book is presented as if it were written in 1915, compiled by Louis Zaring, and edited by Hamilton with testimonies attesting to its accuracy.
