A century and a half after a global war, the last heir of the Romanoffs plots to overthrow the peaceful world order that rules the air, as a fiery comet bears down to threaten all mankind.

George Griffith's 1894 novel, sequel to 'The Angel of the Revolution,' is a sweeping future-war and post-apocalyptic epic. Grand, prophetic, thrilling. Read it for a rousing Victorian saga of airborne empires, revolution, and cosmic catastrophe from a pioneer of the future-war tale.
