Description
The World Destroyer is a science fiction novel written by Horace Mann and published in 1903. The story is set in the year 2073 and follows the adventures of a young inventor named John Gordon, who creates a powerful weapon called the ""world destroyer."" The weapon is capable of destroying entire cities and has the potential to wipe out all life on Earth. Gordon's invention attracts the attention of a group of powerful men who seek to use it for their own gain. They kidnap Gordon and force him to work for them, but he manages to escape with the help of a young woman named Mary. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey to stop the world destroyer from falling into the wrong hands. As they travel across the globe, Gordon and Mary encounter various obstacles and enemies, including a rival inventor who seeks to steal Gordon's ideas and a group of anarchists who want to use the world destroyer to bring about a revolution. Along the way, they also discover a hidden civilization in the Amazon jungle and learn about the true purpose of the world destroyer. The World Destroyer is a thrilling adventure story that explores the dangers of unchecked technological progress and the importance of using science for the betterment of humanity. It is a classic example of early science fiction and has influenced many later works in the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
