I totally loved Robur the Conqueror. I found it very interesting and was delighted to learn more about balloons and flight research in the mid 19th century. It was a quick read and very delightful. I read the online version so I could research all the people he references in the book easily. I have enjoyed the old prints with their illustrations I can not read on my Aluratek Pro easily.

All this flight reading makes Off on a Comet out of favor right now. I am also holding off on the Master of the World sequel to Robur. I think I may go read about Begum's Millions or about a sad Chinaman.
