Vril: the power of the coming race, paperback/edward bulwer-lytton

Regarded by many as Bulwer-Lyttons best novel, Vril: The Power of The Coming Race is a powerful novel that fired the imagination of readers starting in the 1870s.

Among the earliest examples of what would become the genre of science fiction, among many authors it influenced H.

Wells, Samuel Butler, and Edgar Rice Burroughs.

The book tells the story of a young American adventurer who discovers a portal to an underground world at the bottom of a mine shaft.

In this world lives a highly advanced race, with a dark secret.

This Aelzina Books edition is not a difficult-to read photo-reproduction of an old book.

Instead it is a completely new edition, professionally re-typeset from the original 1871 volume using a modern version of the classic Garamond typeface for easy readability.

Aelzina Books also includes a short biography of the author as a preface to each book we publish.
