Alex Kirk awakens a million years from now, utterly alone and in terrible danger on a brave new Earth. Mankind has been extinct for eons, and Alex Kirk is marooned like no human ever before--not just in space, but in time. He is the last of his kind, an afterthought of evolution or fate, and now he must either perish or conquer this world and its many mysteries. This is an entirely fresh and original novel, which innovatively evokes and builds upon Defoe's literary classic. Earth in 1,000,000 A.D. is a planet of surprises, from huge saltwater flowers and the giant butterflies that pollinate them, to the sinister and deadly rippers that lurk hour after hour waiting for Alex to make a single mistake so they can devour him. And there is much more: living caves; armed and marauding aftermen; a curious smudge in space, beside the moon, that encapsulates the secret of what happened to mankind. Starting alone and with nothing except his fierce will to survive, Alex courageously explores, battles, and conquers. He ultimately confronts the enigma of who he is and why the ancient humans shipwrecked him beyond time and space. Is there a woman-Friday to relieve what would otherwise be a nightmare existence for Alex Kirk? Read this novel and learn the answer. Hint: strawberry ice cream. A Worthy Successor to Robinson Crusoe On Mars — I highly recommend this book. Original, imaginative, and gripping. Great material for a SF movie. — Media critic John K. Muir
