    About this ebook

    L.P Gratacap's science fiction novel "The Evacuation of England: The Twist in the Gulf Stream" is about a hypothetical geologic event caused by the construction of the Panama Canal. The Isthmus of Panama is flooded in the novel, the Gulf Stream is disrupted, and the British are forced to flee freezing England. Gratacap ended on a meditative note about what it means to be English, including a glowing defense of America.
