About this ebook

In the final year of the 19th century, London faces an unprecedented catastrophe when a seven-day fog combines with industrial coal smoke to create a deadly atmospheric trap. As the city's oxygen supply depletes and carbonic acid gas accumulates, millions of residents succumb to the poisonous air in what becomes the most devastating disaster in human history.

Through the eyes of a confidential clerk who survives thanks to an American inventor's oxygen-producing machine, the story unfolds as a chilling account of urban apocalypse. The narrative follows his desperate journey through the silent, death-filled streets of London, from his office in Cannon Street to the nightmarish scene at the underground railway station where survivors fight desperately for space on the last train out of the doomed metropolis.

This prescient tale of environmental disaster and technological salvation offers a stark warning about industrial pollution while delivering a gripping survival story that anticipates modern concerns about urban air quality and climate catastrophe.
