Centuries Apart is about a group of Civil War Union soldiers who, dispatched by President Lincoln, quasi-time travel to a quasi-medieval England in the heart of Antarctica. This land, called South England, has been cut off from regular England since the the 1500s - and there's also a 'New France' just south of it, peopled with descendants from 16th Century France. The account is based on the journal of one of the officers.'[SOUTH ENGLAND is] a large Island in the verdant heart of Antarctica inhabited since around 1500 by an English Lost Race, for whom history has stopped short. The island itself is shaped like a squat British Isles, and is dominated by South London...The ruling monarchy, descended from Plantagenets defeated in the War of the Roses, is slowly becoming dysfunctional; descriptions of the social and political world of South England are similar in tone and content to those offered by Mark Twain's mouthpiece in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889). Romance and dissension soon bring on the inevitable disaster.' - Summary by TriciaGNote: There are two maps in the original text, in the frontispiece and after page 12, if one would like to refer to them during the story.
