Fun read. Plenty of action. A little dated to be sure, especially in social attitudes and casual genocide. But at least the narrator doesn't upend Gladys on the back of a tarn at the end.

Influential early sci fi adventure, in the Jules Verne vein. Childhood favourite, but seeming a little threadbare in this reread. While Conan Doyle's near contemporary HG Wells uses sci fi to criticise colonism, this seems positive towards it ....
