Related to material in The Man Who Awoke - The City of Sleep
by Laurence Manning

"We are carried now deep into the unknown future, in this third installment of the incomparable adventures of Norman Winters. This story is a sequel, in effect, of Mr. Manning's, "City of the Living Dead" published by Wonder Stories several years ago.

We remember that that story aroused a storm of interest and controversy. Many readers wanted to know how the "City" came into being and what its future would be. We do not know yet its future—that will be dealt with in succeeding stories, but Mr. Manning pictures very vividly the revolt against the city in that remote time of 15,000 A.D.

Mr. Manning's series of time stories under the title "The Man Who Awoke" is arousing more and more favorable attention, and becoming one of our most popular features."
