As a great comet menaces the Earth and war looms between the powers, a marvelous flying machine, the Flying Fish, and a daring inventor stand between civilization and doom.

George Griffith's 1907 novel is a sweeping military-SF and disaster thriller. Vivid, prophetic, of its era. Read it for a grand Edwardian scientific-romance combining a future European war, a world-threatening comet, and a wonder-invention, from a master of the future-war genre, packed with airships, sea-battles, and cosmic peril.
