"When the Sleepers Woke" by Arthur Leo Zagat is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a catastrophic war, leaving only a handful of surviving humans. It explores themes of survival, societal collapse, and the potential for rebirth in the aftermath of destruction. The narrative follows Allan Dane, who awakens after years of suspended animation in a refuge from the deadly gas that engulfed the world during a great conflict. Upon regaining consciousness, he discovers that he is one of only seven survivors left on Earth, living in isolation from the consequences of the war. As Allan learns about the fates of others, he encounters Naomi, a young woman who has also survived the chaos. Together, they navigate the dangers of this new world, which is populated by remnants of humanity driven mad by isolation and desperation. The story culminates in a race against time as Allan must confront the malevolent remnants of the enemy and ultimately strive to protect the future of humankind.
