The Birth of the People's Republic of Antarctica

(1983)
A novel by John Calvin Batchelor

Awards
John W Campbell Memorial Award Best Novel (nominee)

In this book the author has written a stunning lament about the beastliness in man and the violence in nature, about the darkness of hope abandoned and the blood-price of hope regained. The power of his novel is its informed irony for what has been, and its measured fury for what may yet be. It is bewitching work of profound and prophetic vision.
