Jules Verne ~7 hr read

A fragment of Earth is torn away by a passing comet, carrying a handful of astonished people on a two-year voyage through the solar system before their improbable return.

Jules Verne's 1877 'Off on a Comet' (Hector Servadac) is a rousing, imaginative interplanetary adventure. Wonder-filled, inventive, classic. Read it for one of Verne's boldest scientific romances, a grand tour of the solar system aboard a runaway chunk of the world.
