Reviews
On Jul 30 2017, a reader said:
I am intrigued by his writing and want to read all the other books, etc, he may have written. My book has a typo in it and the printer or someone placed a smaller letter where it was left out. I am so thrilled of the content and subject matter. Science Fiction such as this which main subject matter is a subject that the world is so concerned about. With the glaciers melting and shifting, nature is in control. I highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone who is interested in the natural occurrences of earth and the implications thereof. Written in 1908, President Roosevelt distinguishes this book even more. I want to read "The certainty of a Future Life in Mars:" next.
