About This Item
London England: HarperCollins, 1993. Hardback. Mr. Baxter has provided us with a cabinet of scientific marvels even more astonishing than Mr. Verne's. His convincing and detailed vision of a Victorian super-science powered by the Principles of Enhanced Conductance, a property of the British discovery anti-ice, takes us into space and to the Moon itself! It is a world where great bridges span the English Channel, glittering monorails carry passengers speedily across the globe and a titanic land line, The Prince Albert, prepares for her maiden voyage. The powerful conclusion has us gasping with surprise and fearful anticipation as Europe experiences the horrors of anti-ice warfare, and the fate of the whole globe hangs upon the final, desperate flight to our aerial yacht The Phaeton. A yarn which will appeal to all readers of H. G. Wells, George Griffith and their fellow Kings of Scientific Romance. Pursuing both a plot of political skulduggery and romance, and a heated debate on the consequences of man's power over nature, the new star of British science fiction has written a baroque epic of dazzling originality. 280 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
