Lord of the World
by Robert Hugh BensonLord of the World is a 1907 apocalyptic novel by Robert Hugh Benson. It is sometimes deemed one of the first modern dystopias. Michael D. O'Brien's Catholic apocalyptic series, Children of the Last Days follows a very similar theme as well.
Lord of the World
by Robert Hugh BensonBelief in God has been replaced by secular humanism in this gripping tale of the apocalypse. Protestantism is over, Catholicism is driven underground, and the Eastern religions have merged into a single pantheistic creed that poses an ongoing military threat to the West. Without a spiritual dimension to their lives, people are literally bored to death, choosing legal euthanasia rather than an empty existence. A charismatic leader arises amid this culture of despair, and in their eagerness for change, the citizens support the coming of the Antichrist and the end of days.One of the first works of modern dystopic fiction, this 1907 novel is remarkably prescient in its depiction of a technologically advanced society that rushes headlong toward its own destruction. Author Robert Hugh Benson, son of the Archbishop of Canterbury and a convert to Roman Catholicism, wrote this dark parable in response to the science-fiction novels of H. G. Wells, which portrayed utopian societies in terms of atheism and one-world government. The novel has been hailed as prophetic by Dale Ahlquist, Joseph Pearce, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis, among others.

But what awaits Prince Tayy upon his return is a situation fully as dangerous as anything he has faced in battle. With his own father and mother slain by a treacherous demon who manifests as both a deadly, poisonous green bamboo snake and a beautiful woman, his uncle Mergen-Khan now rules over the Qubal people. But he has named Tayy as heir and sees himself as a custodian, holding the position only until his nephew is fully prepared to assume the leadership of the clans. Yet there are some determined to see that Tayy never claims his rightful place, those with the powers of dark magic who have marked the prince for death and will use any means to achieve this end. Mergen's own blanket son, the warrior Tutula, will prove easy prey for the mysterious seductress who can offer him all he desires if he is willing to pay the price she demands. And that price is Prince Tayy's life! But there are those equally determined to keep Tayy from harm--his own loyal guardsmen, Mergen-Khan. Tayy's grandmother.

But time is running out as swiftly as a green serpents deadly strike....

Lords of the Starship
by Mark S. GestonThe ship was to be seven miles long, a third of a mile in diameter and have a wing-spread of three and a half miles. It would take two and a half centuries to construct. Its announced purpose: to carry humanity away from its ruined world, from the world that had become a perpetual purgatory. To build this vast ship would require the undivided activity of an entire nation and would mean carrying out a ruthless program of war and conquest, of annihilation and reconstruction, and of education and rediscovery.
