Publisher's Summary:
"Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit To Heaven" (1909) is a science fiction short story by Mark Twain.
Excerpt:
Well, when I had been dead about thirty years I begun to get a little anxious. Mind you, had been whizzing through space all that time, like a comet. Like a comet! Why, Peters, I laid over the lot of them! Of course there wasn't any of them going my way, as a steady thing, you know, because they travel in a long circle like the loop of a lasso, whereas I was pointed as straight as a dart for the Hereafter; but I happened on one every now and then that was going my way for an hour or so, and then we had a bit of a brush together. An ordinary comet don't make more than about 200,000 miles a minute. Of course when I came across one of that sort - like Encke's and Halley's comets, for instance - it wasnt anything but just a flash and a vanish, you see. But after I got outside of our astronomical system, I used to flush a comet occasionally.
Artist Bio Author: Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American writer, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer. Among his novels are "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".

Great content, but atrocious formatting.
The writing is great as one would expect. The book construction / format is very disappointing. It is not annotated in any sense. It is in a tiny font (the smallest I have ever seen in a book, making it difficult to read. There are no page numbers - make sure you have a book mark handy or you will never find where you paused. The story is clever and imaginative. I managed to enjoy reading it in spite of the poor format with lierally no background information or commentary.
Five Stars
everything by Mark Twain is good
One chuckle after another.
A must read for all who believe in an after-life. Twain's vision of heaven is both humorous and thought provoking. It might be a different view of things had Stormfield learned more than one song to sing in his lifetime.
It's more like ranting than a story
I've read a lot of Mr Clements (Mark Twain) works . Unfortunately he wrote this when he was extremely angry over personal losses. It's more like ranting than a story. I finished reading it glad that it was not the first of his works I read or it would have been the last
Five Stars
Twain was SO far ahead of his time it's scary.....
