On board are the intrepid Marquis de Valsorres, the eminent Dr. Portier, the beautiful Zabeth and their loyal companion, Thomas. After a long stay on an utopian-like Mars, they reach the prehistoric world of Saturn. But in the meantime the Great War has started on Earth and a rival German expedition threatens their very survival...\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Ring of Light\u003c\/em\u003e first appeared as a feuilleton serial in the daily newspaper \u003cem\u003eLe Petit Parisien\u003c\/em\u003e from 6 November 1921 to 4 February 1922, more than a year Herman Oberth's seminal \u003cem\u003eBy Rocket into Interplanetary Space\u003c\/em\u003e (1923), and Otto Willi Gail's \u003cem\u003eThe Shot into Infinity\u003c\/em\u003e (1925). It is of considerable interest with regard to the history of French speculative fiction, especially interplanetary fiction, for it is one of the earliest responses to the popularizing of the notion that space travel might become practicable with the aid of rockets, and particularly rockets propelled by atomic power derived from radium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L.
