Description

The finest tale ever written of fabled Atlantis, The Lost Continent is a sweeping, fiery saga of the last days of the doomed land. An ancient manuscript in a cave in the Canary Islands yields the secret of the legendary vanished civilisation. Atlantis at the height of her power and glory is without equal. Priests channel the elemental powers of the universe; far-flung colonies have arisen in Egypt and Central America; mighty navies patrol the seas; and a powerful monarch rules from a staggeringly beautiful city of pyramids and shining temples gathered around a Sacred Mountain. But mighty Atlantis is also decaying and corrupt. Its people are growing soft, decadent, and many live in squalor; rebellion is in the air; and prophecies of doom ring forth. Into this epic drama of the end of times stride two memorable characters: the warrior-priest Decalion-stern, just, and loyal-and the Empress Phorenice-brilliant, ambitious, and passionate. The old and new Atlantis collide in a titanic showdown between Deucalion and Phorenice, a struggle that soon affects the destiny of an entire civilisation. In the decades since its publication, The Lost Continent continues to thrill and enchant readers, forever shaping and enriching the legend that is Atlantis. C. J. Cutliffe Hyne (1866-1944) was a popular novelist and the author of the "Captain Kettle" adventures in print and on film. Harry Turtledove, an acclaimed writer of science fiction and alternate history and winner of the Hugo Award, is the author of such novels as How Few Remain and Guns of the South. Gary Hoppenstand is Professor of American Thought and Language at Michigan State University. He is the author of Clive Barker's Short Stories: Imagination as Metaphor in the Books of Blood and Other Works (1994) and editor of Popular Fiction: An Anthology (1997).
