Synopsis

Alone on this strange little world in the orbit of Saturn, the man who knew himself as Nemo, and the golden haired girl who called herself Nona, lived the lives of simple primitives. But weird was this planetoid where rocks burned and the water was fit to breathe, yet no less fantastic than the meteor itself was the bizarre Marinoid people who dwelt deep in its waters! One of the earliest American science fiction novels, here is Ray Cummings classic novel from 1924 -- published as a 9-part serial in Science and Invention before the term "science fiction" had even been coined!
