Críticas:
''The Coming Race' was enormously influential in its day and traces of its influence remain with us: the title of the book is namechecked in Bowie's 'Oh You Pretty Things' and Vril, the mysterious energy force utilised by the Vril-Ya, supplied the suffix for Bovril.' --The Independent

'His utopian novel, 'The Coming Race', is considered to be among the earliest science fiction novels, about a subterranean superior civilisation and its powers. In its day (and beyond), the book was tremendously influential as a novel of ideas, of scientific and philosophical speculation. In some quarters it was even taken as thinly disguised truth...The novel is utopian in that it examines the ideal life that the Vril-ya have developed for themselves. It wittily in many places juxtaposes that life with what nineteenth century humans have wrought.' --Fencer blog
Reseña del editor:
Accompanying an engineer down a mine shaft, a wealthy American discovers a series of caverns in which dwell the subterranean Vril-ya race. Not only have the Vril-ya "people" devised the means with which to survive underground, they have also developed a highly sophisticated language, culture, and civilization. Subservient to the mysterious and all-powerful force of Vril, they are primarily a peaceful race; but with a destiny to eradicate human civilization, it can only be a matter of time before they emerge from their underground caves to take on the world as we know it. One of the most influential books of its time, The Coming Race is an entertaining, inspired, and ultimately prescient work of early science fiction.
