The Dawn's Delay (coll 1924) contains "The End of the World", of interest for its vision of a Solar System populated by various species, and "W.J.", about a future WAR in 1966-72.

In revised form both of these volumes were assembled asThe Dawn's Delay (omni 1948). With Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990), HK wrote two SATIRES rendering NEAR FUTURE doings in the form of newspaper stories: Brave Old World: A Mirror for The Times (1936) and Next Year's News (1938).
