When the World Shook by H. Rider Haggard, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Historical, Action & Adventure
H. Rider Haggard
Paperback (Aegypan, Aug. 1, 2006)Haggard's When the World Shook is a bit of science fiction made before the form had a name. Humphrey Arbuthnot, Basil Bastin, and a physician, Bickley, are off on just such an adventure -- and where it leads them is a SF-style land of the weird. Somewhere in the south Pacific they take refuge in a cave on a forbidden island, and there they find skeletal ruins of machines -- flying machines. In the ruins they find two tombs with crystal lids: One contains the body of an elderly man -- and holds a beautiful young woman. Naturally enough, our heroes open the coffins, resurrect the entombed . . . and begin a great and remarkable adventure. Haggard was a heck of a writer, and the book tells a whopper of a tale: When the World Shook is not a thing to miss.
