The Coming Race

Edward Bulwer-Lytton

Fiction, Science Fiction

Dive into the Earth's mysterious core with an American narrator who, after a mining mishap, tumbles into a subterranean world inhabited by the Vril-ya. This advanced, ancient human race wields 'vril,' a potent energy source granting both destructive and creative powers, shaping their society into a peaceful, highly evolved utopia.
