"Our empire is not bounded by the roofs of
subterranean caverns, but only by the limits of the planet's atmosphere. We
can soar beyond the clouds and dive beneath the seas. We have realised what
he called the Vril force as a sober, scientific fact; and if I thought that
you, for instance, were my enemy, I could strike you dead without so much as
laying a hand on you. And if a dozen like you tried to overcome me by
superior brute force, they would all meet with the same fate."
Over a century of peace follows the Armageddon of 1904
detailed in Tsar Wars Episode One - Angel of the Revolution.
The fifth generation of the Brotherhood of Freedom
enforces the peace with flying ships and the mighty Vril-Force-until the
last living child of the Tsar's line, Olga Romanoff, "beautiful beyond
description and evil beyond comprehention," strikes back in revenge and
plunges the world back into war.

George Chetwyn Griffith-Jones (1857–1906) was a British
science fiction writer and noted explorer who wrote during the turn of the
century. His works appeared in magazines such as Pearson's Magazine.
Griffith was never popular in the United States due to his political views,
and though outsellling HG Wells was overshadowed by his fame.
Griffith was an explorer as well as a writer, and broke a record for
travelling around the world; and he helped discover the source of the Amazon
river.
Undeniably the most popular science fiction writer in England between 1893
and 1895.
