THE MYSTERIES OF TOMORROW
By Paul Féval, fils & H.J. Magog
Translated by Brian Stableford
Cover by Mike Hoffman
Written in collaboration in 1922 by the author of Felifax, this five-volume saga (of which this is the first), purporting to chronicle the early years of the 21st century, takes place in a quasi-utopia-like Earth, where war no longer exists, poverty has been banished, men no longer consume meat, and, thanks to the genius of master scientist Oronius, humanity has mastered natural forces.
However, there exists a snake in this garden of Eden: Oronius’ former colleague Otto Hentzen, a mad scientist who has allied himself with the beautiful, deadly enchantress Yogha. From their impregnable citadel located atop Mount Everest, they wish to crush the world and rule it.
(VOLUME 1): THE FIANCES OF THE YEAR 2000
Will Oronius’ pupil, Jean Chapuis, his fiancée Cyprienne, Oronius’ own daughter, ably assisted by his mechanic Laridon, her maid Turlurette, and their African manservant Julep, prove able to thwart the evil duo’s diabolical schemes?
THE MYSTERIES OF TOMORROW (VOLUME 2): THE WORLD OF THE DAMNED
The quest to find Oronius will take his friends into a vast, underground realm inhabited by giant vampire bats and homunculi who worship the great scientist as their god. But their foes push the subterrans to rebel. Will Oronius, his allies and his robots, be enough to defeat the diabolical Hantzen? Will they escape giant moles, the sea of gold and the central fire and reach the surface again in order to stop an invasion from the Center of the Earth?
