Sommario/riassunto

One of the first novels about interplanetary travel, A Honeymoon in Space takes readers on a journey across the solar system Lenox, the Earl of Redgrave, has made the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world: a flying ship with the power to break free of Earth's gravity and take to the stars. But before he uses it to expand humanity's understanding of the universe, he has some personal business to attend to-namely, wooing an old flame.   The lady in question is Zaidie, the daughter of Lenox's colleague Professor Rennick. With Zaidie about to be forced into a loveless marriage, Lenox knows he must do something drastic. He steals her away and takes her out of this world-literally. Griffith's accounts of other planets are spectacularly engaging-from subterranean civilizations on the moon to the warlike



Martians to the musical inhabitants of Venus. This remarkable adventure makes for a memorable honeymoon indeed.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
