About This Book

While abroad, a narrator receives a coded account from someone who claims to have lived among a hidden inner-world civilization after a strange meteoric event that coincided with several missing ships. The correspondent reports learning the inhabitants' language, making scientific and anthropological observations, and encountering a hostile, cannibalistic female population, all while warning of a looming catastrophe. The narrative mixes clinical description with grisly scenes and frames the tale as a relay to skeptical authorities, combining speculative geology, contact reportage, and an urgent admonition about an impending threat.
