When he wakes up, he discovers that he is the richest and most powerful man in the world. He now lives in a completely different and unknown world. He is the sole master and owner of the world! The Council has managed its wealth while it sleeps, and has created an extremely dark and cruel system that dominates the entire planet. However, what is expected of Graham and what people now see as a savior, is to save society from these terrible tyrants. Another masterpiece by Herbert Wells.
