Rent Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America

Synopsis

O ver a century after the Efflorescence of Oil, after the Fall of the Cities, after the Plague of Infertility, after the False Tribulation, after the days of the Pious Presidents, America, unified, is rising once again. Then out of Labrador come tales of a new Ajax—Captain Commongold, the Youthful Hero of the Saguenay. The ordinary people follow his adventures in the press. The Army adores him. But President Deklan Comstock is…troubled. Especially when the dashing Captain turns out to be his nephew Julian. Treachery and intrigue dog Julian's footsteps. Stern resolve and tender sentiment dice for Julian's soul, while his admiration for the works of the Secular Ancients, and his adherence to the evolutionary doctrines of the heretical Darwin, set him at fatal odds with the hierarchy of the Dominion. As told by Julian's best friend and faithful companion, a rustic yet observant lad from the west, this tale of the 22nd Century asks—and answers—the age-old question: "Do you want to tell the truth, or do youwant to tell a story?"
