'The Phantom of the Poles'
expounds William Reed's theory that
the poles were unreachable because
they were non-existent and instead
there were entrances, at the Earth's
axis, to its hollow interior.
This is a view which has been
offered by others (often in rather
different form) both before Reed and
right up to the present day.
The unorthodoxy of the view on its
own makes this an interesting read,
while Inner Earth theorists may find
notions worthy of further
investigation.
Reed was apparently trying to raise
interest in mounting an expedition to
explore the economic potential of the
inner Earth.

Written in 1871, 'The Coming Race'
is the story of the narrator's
accidental discovery of a
subterranean civilization given
power by their ability to mould the
universal etheric substance they
call VRIL. As in Wells' 'The Time
Machine', the alternative civilization
is used, in part, to comment on the
ways of the world the author knew.
But what were the realities of that
world, and how much did he really
know... VRIL-YA!
