What if Plato's ideas have been ruling the world, and those living in the light have prospered on a scale that is beyond normal reckoning? What, then, of the darkness-facers? What would they have become?

After the giant milliped burns, Ba-Art and his companions are the only ones left alive. Their escape leads them deep into the Catacombs, which isn't just an ancient tunnel network where the sun never shines -- not directly -- but a forgotten highway to the civilizations of the underground. One of them is simply called The Kingdom.

Their fellow survivor, an Orang named Barong, soon proves the most capable in the group, and he is more than he appears: a prince of that hidden realm. Yet Ba-Art cannot let go of his hunger to lead. Can a wizened old bishop, once the guide of the most legendary pilgrimage below the earth, temper his reckless ambition?

A surreal and philosophical sci-fi adventure, The Hole World asks readers to abandon reason and confront the darkest possibilities of the human future.
