When he refuses a final summons to avert catastrophe, a ruthless rival drives the world toward total war. As fleets of aeroplanes swarm the skies and bombs rain down, paradise becomes a battlefield. The lovers flee through sunlit temples and shattered coasts in a desperate bid for escape, only to face the ultimate cost of choosing passion over responsibility.

Part love story, part political tragedy, and part apocalyptic nightmare, A Dream of Armageddon is a compact masterpiece of classic science fiction that still feels shockingly relevant. Enter a world where memory wavers, duty collides with desire, and the sky itself becomes an instrument of judgment.
