From 1893-1895 George Griffith was the most famous science fiction
writer in England. His books entranced the readers of the 19th
century with tales of Martians, submarines, immortality, rogue
comets and even spaceships whizzing around the solar system. He
invented the Countdown in 1897 and his son would become the
co-inventor of the jet engine. Griffith's name became synonymous
with high adventure and so in the Spring of 1894 he was recruited
to follow in the mythical footsteps of Jules Verne's Phileas Fogg.
In just 65 days Griffith travelled through 24 time zones and
established a new world record. Now for the first time in over 100
years his story can be retold along with a lengthy biography of his
many literary achievements by noted Space writer and editor, Robert
Godwin. It includes a special Introduction by John Griffith,
grandson of George Griffith.
