The Eternal Wall

A reckless drive to reach the girl he loves sends Ned Vince plunging into a hidden alkali pit, where his car vanishes into darkness and death seems to claim him. Yet the opening's eerie stillness only deepens the mystery, contrasting one young man's fate with the vast, ancient landscape that outlasts him. Then the scene leaps far into the future, where strange voices echo through a barren gulch on an Earth transformed beyond recognition. There, Loy Chuk and his highly evolved rodent-like people uncover the preserved body of Ned Vince at an archaeological dig. In a post-human world, the dry alkali has kept the corpse intact, and Loy suspects even living brain tissue may remain. Determined to revive this relic of humanity, he transports the mummy by flying machine to Kar-Rah, a subterranean city of advanced descendants of rodents. In his laboratory, Loy begins the astonishing scientific process of dissolving the alkali and restoring Ned to life, setting up a dramatic collision between forgotten human history and a future civilization confident enough to resurrect the dead.
