Journey to the Comet

About this book

A comet is on a collision course with Earth and only one man's calculations say otherwise.Edinburgh, 1904. When the scientific establishment panics over impending doom, Dr Nathaniel Malmborough, a young researcher at the Royal Observatory, discovers a flaw in the numbers. His figures tell a very different story and they catch the eye of the enigmatic explorer Sir A. Armstrong Armitage. Within days, Nathaniel is swept into the most audacious expedition in human history: a voyage to the comet itself, aboard a modified diving bell, launched from the volcanic plains of Iceland. Alongside the formidable Professor Garamond and Sir A.'s brilliant sister Tandy—whose engineering makes the impossible merely improbable—the crew must survive sabotage, betrayal, and the unforgiving emptiness of space.But as Earth shrinks to a blue marble behind them, they learn a hard truth: reaching the comet was only the beginning. --- Told through Nathaniel's journal, Journey to the Comet is a thrilling scientific adventure in the grand tradition of Jules Verne—Edwardian ingenuity, boundless imagination, and the irresistible urge to venture beyond the horizon.
