Product Description

Gradually memory and consciousness once more reasserted themselves and he became aware that he was lying in bed. But this was a slow process of intense mental effort and was as laboriously and logically built up of premises and deductions as were his theological theses learned twenty years before in his seminary. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Publisher

THE DAWN OF ALL, the second of Benson’s two science fiction satires, is a "counter- blast " to the terrifying LORD OF THE WORLD. Contradicting the notion that this novel presents a blueprint for an ideal society, "Benson wrote often and emphatically that he did not for a moment expect the pictured solution to realize itself, and that he even hoped it would not. Neither Science, nor the State, nor Religion would ever, he was convinced, find themselves in such mutual relations as he had invented." (C. C. Martindale, S.J.) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
