His visionary stories came out in magazines such as Pearson's Magazine and Pearson's Weekly before being published as novels. The Angel of the Revolution: A Tale of the Coming Terror was his first published novel and most well-known work. Partly Jules Verne, partly imaginative futuristic air warfare Utopian visions. The novel is about a group of 'terrorists' who conquer the world through airship warfare. Led by a Russian Jewish father and daughter, the 'angel' Natasha, 'The Brotherhood of Freedom' establish a 'pax aeronautica' over the earth after using the technological invention of an airship by a young inventor in 1903. He falls in love with Natasha and joins the Brotherhood of Freedom in their war against the establishment and the Russian Tsar. The Science Fiction novel builds up to describe a vast, apocalyptic total world war, which predicts the Great War, but with Britain and Germany as allies fighting against Russia and France. **First cheap edition, published in 1895, two years after the first edition.
