ROBERT CROMIE'S BOOKS
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
A PLUNGE INTO SPACE
With Preface by Jules Verne
Times.—The story is written with considerable liveliness, the scientific jargon is sufficiently perplexing, and the characters are sketched with some humour.
Chronicle.—A strange, weird, mysterious story that holds the reader spell-bound, from the first page to the last.
Athenæum.—Mr. Cromie's Utopia is charming, and the quasi-scientific detail of the expedition is given with so much integrity that we hardly wonder at the marvellous results accomplished.
Truth.—A very clever description of a flight through space to Mars ... the book is extremely interesting and suggestive; especially, perhaps, where it attacks the theories of Mr. George and "Looking Backwards."
Court Journal.—Mr. Robert Cromie's remarkably clever and entertaining volume is told with much of the vivid fancy of a Jules Verne—with remarkable picturesqueness, and the experiences of mortals in Mars are described with considerable humour.
