J.-H. Rosny Aine is the second most important figure in modern
French science fiction after Jules Verne. Rosny, who was a member
of the distinguished Goncourt literary academy, was also the first
writer to straddle the line between mainstream literature and
science fiction. Until now, Rosny has best been known to the
English-speaking public for his prehistoric thriller, Quest for
Fire. In The Cataclysm (1896), the physical laws of nature change
in an entire region of France because of the arrival of a strange
electro-magnetic entity from outer space.The Mysterious Force
(1913) is about the destruction of a portion of the light spectrum
by aliens who, for a brief while, share our physical existence. In
Hareton Ironcastle (1922), explorers discover a mysterious alien
world, fauna and flora, embedded in the Heart of Africa. This is
the third in a series of seven volumes, six of which are translated
and annotated by Brian Stableford, devoted to presenting the
classic works of this giant of French science fiction.
