The Polyphemes by F. Hernaman-Johnson (First Edition) A firm copy with mild wear to spine edges; bumping to corners. Bright gilt. Rubbing to edges. Mild soiling to rear panel. Mild damp stain to rear free endpaper. Rear hinge starting. Title page dated 1906. Navy blue cloth with gilt stamped lettering and blind stamped designs. 318 pp. Early science fiction story involving an advanced race of insects. The beings, Polyphemus horridus, giant intelligent Moon-worshipping ants from a Pacific Island, just fail to conquer the Near Future world of 1912, despite their use of "X Magnetism" to power their advanced Airships, which bomb Europe. The influence of H G Wells is apparent in this tale of Imperialism in reverse.
