✦ Synopsis

Ce roman nous décrit une guerre mondiale, en 1908, conçue par un stratège de génie, H.G. Wells, qui invente l'arme absolue : les dirigeables géants, véritables porte-avions, d'où prennent leur vol les «Drachenflieger» de bombardement. Ainsi, l'Allemagne attaque directement les États-Unis et, sur la route de New York, coule la flotte U.S. De nouvelles armes naissent, tel le canon à éclairs, ancêtre direct du rayon laser, le fameux rayon de la mort... Une saga extraordinaire et méconnue qui se déploie sur plusieurs continents.

Product Description

This thrilling tale is H. G. Wells at his modernist, visionary best. In 1907, a naive Londoner named Bert Smallways finds himself an unwitting passenger on a fleet of German airships heading over the Atlantic to attack New York. What unfolds in characteristically Wellsian fashion is a clash of early flying machines that leaves Gotham in shambles and unleashes the terrible age of Total War. Uncannily relevant to our own era, The War in the Air remains a cornerstone of early science fiction.
