Often hailed as the best French science fiction writer of the early
20th century, Maurice Renard coined the term "Scientific Marvel
Fiction" to pen a series of gripping, ground-breaking stories that
owe as much to Edgar Allan Poe as they do to H.-G. Wells. Until
now, Renard was best known to the English-speaking public for his
thrice-filmed thriller, The Hands of Orlac. The Blue Peril (1911),
which many consider to be Renard's masterpiece, features invisible
alien creatures which live in high Earth orbit and which, feeling
threatened by man's incursion into space, retaliate by fishing for
men the way we capture fish, and studying our species. It is the
third of a series of five volumes, translated and annotated by
Brian Stableford, devoted to presenting the classic works of this
pioneering giant of French science fiction.
