In the only novel Conrad set in London, The Secret Agent communicates a profoundly ironic view of human affairs. The story is woven around an attack on the Greenwich Observatory in 1894 masterminded by Verlac, a Russian spy working for the police, and ostensibly a member of an anarchist group in Soho.

In this classic novel of future overpopulation, Robert Bloch takes us to a world where humans have bred themselves into a state of smothering overpopulation. The Government resorts to more and more Draconian measures to control the population and utilize what space and resources are available.
