In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries George
Griffiths was as well known and, according to some experts, as
popular as that other exemplar of the early British scientific
romance, H. G. Wells. 'The Angel of the Revolution, ' is a rich
brew that calls to mind Verne's tales of futuristic wars while
being original, visionary, exciting and technologically prescient.
This is the story of a group of idealists, 'The Brotherhood of
Freedom, ' led by Natas, a crippled but brilliant Russian Jew and
his daughter Natasha, who conquer the world through airship warfare
after a young British inventor masters the technology of flight.
Our inventor falls in love with Natasha and joins her in a crusade
against political corruption and warmongering that leads to a world
in which war is outlawed. The sequel to this book, 'Olga Romanoff,
' is also available from Leonaur, both in hardcover and softcover
editions.
