Taylor Hansen is a science fiction narrative originally published in the magazine "Amazing Stories" in the late 1920s. The book revolves around the ambitious engineering project of an undersea railroad designed to connect major cities across the Atlantic Ocean. The story unfolds as the protagonist recounts the catastrophic disaster involving the Tube, probing into the engineering marvels, safety concerns, and the eerie discoveries made during the construction. The plot follows the sole survivor of a disastrous journey through the Undersea Tube who grapples with the events leading up to the catastrophe. In the narrative, the protagonist's friend, an engineer, expresses grave concerns about the safety of the Tube due to a crack caused by an earthquake fault. As he travels through the Tube, a series of catastrophic events leads to the train's destruction, launching him into a surreal underground world filled with a mystical city and an ancient past. Amidst the chaos, the protagonist encounters a child fleeing from lava and a mysterious elderly man, further intertwining the lines between reality and a dream-like adventure. The tale poses questions about ambition, the consequences of human innovation, and the enduring mysteries of lost civilizations.
