Armchair fiction presents large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “Elnovia” by Geoffrey Faber is the 64th installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. They were shipwrecked in the clouds above! Captain Anthony Flutter, a bright young inventor, was planning a flight to Australia in a brand new flying machine of his own design. The first of its kind, this new ship, “the Flutterby,” would revolutionize air travel; a fact he hoped to establish on its maiden voyage down under. But finding a crew would be a tricky as Flutter wanted to keep his new creation a secret until he was ready to show it to the rest of the world. Thankfully, Flutter’s uncle, Henry Coleopter, was available and would soon fall in as a welcome extra hand. However, a week into their travels Lady Luck would turn against the men, as the “Flutterby” ran shockingly aground…Thousands and thousands of feet in the air! What Flutter and his crew were then faced with was so fantastic, so utterly unbelievable, that they questioned their own sanity. He and his crew were soon knee deep in an absurdly delightful adventure on a strange continent hidden in the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere!
