In 1908, Jean de La Hire, the creator of The Nyctalope, penned The
Fiery Wheel, a classic space opera in which five Earthmen are
abducted in the eponymous spacecraft by aliens from Saturn, and
taken to Venus and Mercury where they encounter strange lifeforms,
before returning to Earth through mind transfer. The Fiery Wheel is
the first work of fiction to feature the theme of "alien
abduction," all the more remarkable because such abductions are
achieved by means of a vehicle resembling the "flying disks" or
"flying saucers" later credited with this phenomena."It is an
essential piece in the evolutionary jigsaw of 20th century
speculative fiction, without which the picture would be
incomplete."-- Brian Stableford.
