The Chase of the Golden Meteor Paperback - 1998
by Jules Verne; Introduction by Gregory A. Benford
The announcement that a solid gold asteroid has fallen to earth creates a worldwide sensation. The discovery of this falling golden meteor and the race to find it form the core of this exciting tale from the grandfather of science fiction, Jules Verne. 23 illustrations.
From the rear cover
The approaching disaster is brought on by the machinations of the brilliant but absent-minded French scientist and inventor Zephyrin Xirdal. Xirdal has invented a ray with which he pulls the golden asteroid from orbit and hopes to guide it to crash at a spot of his choosing. Xirdal, the two Virginia astronomers and their families, and representatives from many nations race to find and claim the golden meteor.
The Chase of the Golden Meteor is vintage Verne, artfully blending hard science and scientific speculation with a farcical comedy of manners. This unabridged edition will be sure to delight Verne's legion of fans and attract new ones.
