Summary: "The Eternal Wall" by Raymond Z. Gallun is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story explores themes of death, resurrection, and evolution, focusing on the concept of humanity’s legacy in a far-distant future. It likely examines the nature of existence and the implications of advancements in science through a speculative lens. The narrative follows Ned Vince, a young man who dies in a car accident but is resurrected a million years later by an intelligent race of rodent-like beings known as Loy Chuk and his kind. Upon awakening, Ned confronts a dramatically transformed Earth, where humans are extinct and his own existence is reduced to an archeological curiosity. As he grapples with this overwhelming reality, Loy Chuk tries to integrate Ned into his civilization, ultimately contemplating the possibility of returning him to his own time. However, as Ned realizes the impossibility of reversing time, he must come to terms with his new reality while maintaining hope for a better fate than mere observation as a historical artifact.
