A Drama in the Air: A Short Science Fiction Story

by Jules Verne

Overview

THIS was one of the very first stories published by
our well-known author, appearing soon after 1850. It is
perhaps not of the fine quality of some of Verne's later works,
but it is a little gem in itself, because, without a doubt, it
holds your interest, short as it is, has plenty of excitement
and a good deal of action. Moreover, it is not only probable,
but in a newspaper account some years ago, the identical thing
happened in a slightly different setting. It probably will happen
again. We know that you will like "A Drama in the Air." It is a pleasure
to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of this timeless story.
