Synopsis: One of the first novels about interplanetary travel, A Honeymoon in Space takes readers on a journey across the solar system Lenox, the Earl of Redgrave, has made the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world: a flying ship with the power to break free of Earth&’s gravity and take to the stars. But before he uses it to expand humanity&’s understanding of the universe, he has some personal business to attend to—namely, wooing an old flame. The lady in question is Zaidie, the daughter of Lenox&’s colleague Professor Rennick. With Zaidie about to be forced into a loveless marriage, Lenox knows he must do something drastic. He steals her away and takes her out of this world—literally. Griffith&’s accounts of other planets are spectacularly engaging—from subterranean civilizations on the moon to the warlike Martians to the musical inhabitants of Venus. This remarkable adventure makes for a memorable honeymoon indeed. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
