An example of early dystopian science fiction written shortly after World War I, "City of Endless Night" imagines a future with a very different ending to the Great War. Set in 2151 and in an underground Berlin, our protagonist is Lyman De Forrest, an American chemist who enters the city to discover the hidden truths of a forbidden metropolis. The subterranean world hosts a highly-regimented society of 300,000,000 sun-starved humans. As the first outsider to enter, he's horrified by what he finds, but will he accomplish his mission and escape the living tomb?

A very interesting story with great insight. Almost predicted a very real future. The reader for me was brilliant. Really made the story come alive. Didn't falter once. Really enjoyed the effort she put into it. How another listener only gave her 3 out of 5 I'll never understand. Don't delay, download now.

This early writer got so much right concerning events just beyond his ability to know! the sociology and politics of this novel made for a great story, and the reader did a good job of keeping me listening.
