A world once ruled by science... now silent. Published in 1912, The Scarlet Plague is Jack London's prophetic vision of a world devastated by a deadly pandemic. Set in the year 2073, decades after a mysterious plague wiped out most of humanity, the novel follows an elderly survivor as he recounts the fall of civilization to his grandchildren—now primitive and skeptical of his tales. With chilling foresight, London explores the fragility of progress, the collapse of modern society, and the cyclical nature of human ignorance. More relevant than ever, this early dystopian work reads like a warning across time. 🔥 This edition includes: The complete, unabridged original text Stark illustrations capturing the desolate post-pandemic world Kindle-optimized formatting for immersive reading 📚 A must-read for fans of dystopian fiction, pandemic thrillers, and early science fiction. When the future forgets the past... the scarlet plague begins again. Download the illustrated edition today.
