| Summary |
"The Airlords of Han" by Philip Francis Nowlan is a science fiction novel written in the late 1920s. Set in a dystopian future where a cruel Mongolian race known as the Hans dominates America, the story revolves around Anthony Rogers, who awakens from suspended animation after five centuries. He finds himself in a world where humanity has been decimated, and he becomes a pivotal figure in the rebellion against the Hans as America attempts to reclaim its freedom using advanced science and warfare strategies. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Anthony Rogers, who recounts the tragic fall of America and the oppressive rule of the Hans. He details his awakening in 2270 A.D. and briefs the reader on the balance of power shifting as the Americans begin to organize against their oppressors. The opening chapters depict Rogers’s leadership in the war effort alongside various American gangs as he devises strategies to counter the Hans' advanced technology. Through initial battles and encounters, readers see not only the gritty reality of warfare but also the themes of resilience and the struggle for identity in a transformed world.
