Description
A mysterious celestial body tears Neptune from its orbit and hurtles into the Solar System, transforming a distant astronomical curiosity into an imminent threat to Earth. As scientists struggle to predict its course and the public moves between fascination, denial, and terror, the approaching star brings unearthly light, rising heat, and ominous changes across the planet. In this compact, visionary tale, H. G. Wells explores humanity’s fragile confidence in reason and progress when confronted with forces beyond its control. The story’s mounting cosmic suspense and stark meditation on impermanence remain hallmarks of Wells’s pioneering science fiction.
