Fairly easy to read. Produced by Al Haines "Adrift in the Unknown; or, Queer Adventures in a Queer Realm" by William Wallace Cook is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Professor Quinn, a scientist who has developed a method to defy gravity, and the unforeseen consequences of this discovery. The opening chapters introduce a bizarre scenario of disappearance involving the professor's steel structure, Quinn's Castle, and four powerful financiers who vanish in the chaos, setting the stage for a thrilling journey through an unknown realm. The beginning of the narrative introduces James Peter Munn, a reformed burglar, who seeks to rob Professor Quinn but inadvertently becomes involved in his far more ambitious project. A newspaper article sets the mysterious tone by reporting the sudden disappearance of Quinn's Castle and its guests. As Munn observes from hiding, Professor Quinn attempts to demonstrate his gravity-defying invention to the rich men, leading to unexpected events that ultimately result in their abduction into space. This intriguing mix of social commentary, adventure, and fantastical elements captures the reader's attention, suggesting that the journey will explore themes of morality, class, and the nature of greed.
