Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-318 [319-321: ads for "Works of E. Phillips Oppenheim"], inserted frontispiece with illustration by Harold Piffard, publisher's pictorial blue cloth, front and spine panels stamped in yellow, brown, black and gold, fore and bottom edges rough trimmed. First edition. A highly imaginative Wellsian science ficti…on novel most likely intended as a satire on British boys' adventure fiction and European imperialism. The Polyphemes, a race of ant-like creatures of high intelligence inhabiting unknown islands in the Pacific Ocean, discover, by use of an airship, the existence of the human race and attacks it. Mankind is no match for insects who possess sophisticated weaponry and the secret of atomic power, but ultimately is spared when the Polypheme masses attack their corrupt priesthood and all are annihilated by a cataclysmic explosion. George Locke (in A Spectrum of Fantasy) perceptively notes that this story is a lost race novel in reverse. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-527. Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1906.
