| Summary | "The Angel of the Revolution: A Tale of the Coming Terror" by George Griffith is a novel written in the late 19th century that delves into themes of revolution, science, and personal struggle. The story revolves around Richard Arnold, an impoverished inventor who has dedicated his life to creating a revolutionary airship capable of changing warfare and power dynamics in society. As societal tensions rise, Arnold finds himself entwined with a secret radical organization known as the Brotherhood of Terrorists, who aspire to dismantle oppressive regimes and liberate the oppressed masses. At the start of the book, Richard Arnold, a passionate and nearly destitute inventor, has just achieved a breakthrough in aerial navigation that could transform warfare. Despite his triumph, he faces the daunting reality of financial despair, which threatens to strip him of his invention and freedom. As Arnold grapples with his impending eviction, he is drawn into a wider political narrative through a seemingly chance encounter with Maurice Colston, a member of the Brotherhood. Their subsequent discussions reveal Arnold's strong sentiments against tyranny and his moral dilemmas regarding the potential use of his airship. This opening sets the stage for Arnold’s internal and external conflicts, foreshadowing his eventual commitment to a cause that is both revolutionary and perilous, thus crafting a tale that intertwines personal ambition with a broader social upheaval.
