Off on a (Vol)Comet! Talkin' 'bout a little-known Jules Verne book!


Listen Later

This week Rudy's yammering about a book by Jules Verne that he read, called "Off on a Comet." It was the first story featured in the first issue of the famed pulp sci-fi magazine, Amazing Stories!


Off on a Comet was written after the Verne books you probably know about, and it seems like Verne was both a little tired of his usual schtick, and also a little thin on ideas!


The book has a good first half, and then comes to a screeching halt in the second, with a very un-Vernely weird ending.
