All subsequent books have been edited and abridged! Here is a thrilling adventure in unknown seas! The united Americas, known as Pan-America, is ruled by a single government. They have been isolated for over 200 years from the rest of the planet. From 30 degrees W to 175 degrees W, the Pan-Americans ruled. Outside that area was death to whomever crossed that dread dead-line. A naval commander, Jefferson Turck, his ship disabled and unable to control it, crosses beyond 30. He and three of his shipmates are cast adrift by a treacherous fellow officer. They reach the coast of England to find a devasted land ruled by lions, tigers, and wolves--the population having degenerated into naked savages. Saving Victory, the Queen of England, from Buckingham, the group sail for Continental Europe in hopes of finding civilization. From ERBville Press.
