The Land Leviathan (A Nomad Of The Time Streams Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
The government and all its departments had fled the capital before the war had got into its stride and had retired to an underground retreat somewhere in the Appalachians. It had survived the explosives, but not the plagues. Having little strategic importance, therefore, Washington had most of its famous buildings and monuments still standing. These overblown mock-Graecian, mock-Georgian tributes to grandiose bad taste could be seen in the distance as we steamed into the outskirts of the city, to be stopped by recently constructed barriers. These barriers had existed for only a week or so, but I was surprised at their solidity. They were of brick, stone and concrete, reinforced by neatly piled sand-bags, and, I gathered, protected the whole of the inner city. Kennedy’s credentials were in order—he was recognized by three of the guards and welcomed as something of a hero—and we were allowed to continue through to the main railroad station, where he handed our locomotive over to the authorities.
