520			_a"The First American King" by George Gordon Hastings is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a uniquely constructed setting, beginning at Dr. Belden's establishment, a sanatorium and physical culture resort in Long Island, where guests seek rejuvenation. The narrative centers around key characters such as Dr. Kearns, a prominent detective, and Professor Dean, who are both unsuspecting participants in a larger mystery that combines elements of science and fantastical speculation, hinting at themes of social change and the evolution of civilization. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Dr. Belden's establishment, where guests are treated for their various ailments, and we meet Mr. Kearns and Professor Dean, who engage in discussions on social and scientific topics. Their curiosity leads them to the eccentric Dr. Jaquet, who promises to showcase his cave and the peculiar phenomena of suspended animation. However, the narrative soon surprises the characters—and the readers—when Kearns and Dean unexpectedly fall into a deep sleep that lasts decades, with them waking up in a vastly changed world governed by a king. This striking premise sets the stage for exploration of political, social, and technological transformations that emerge from their long slumber, promising an intriguing journey ahead.
