A Journey in Other Worlds: A Romance of the Future

A speculative narrative follows a party of travelers who harness a newly described repellent force called apergy to journey through the solar system, exploring Jupiter, its moons, and Saturn. They land on alien continents and seas, describe dramatic volcanism, shifting landscapes, and unfamiliar plant and animal life, and experience adventurous encounters with immense creatures. Interleaved with the voyages are reflective essays on scientific education, cosmology, and progress, and visionary sequences that probe spiritual longing, afterlife imagery, and human destiny before the travelers make their final return.
