In the Rider Haggard tradition, May 2, 2003

After many years of searching for this book, I finally found it and read it in a single afternoon. It was an excellent yarn, written by an imaginative medico, sitting in his study in England who could only have had scientific journals as references. Other reviewers are chagrined that he didn't write like Jules Verne, so maybe they should just stick to Verne. The action is slower than the filmed renditions of this book, but it is an adventurous journey in the H. Rider Haggard tradition. Now to read Greg Bear's sequel...
