In the year 2000, Earth has developed into a technological world run by two large power-bases. The technology has allowed Earth to reach out and travel to other worlds in our solar system. JUPITER... a world of thick, rich jungle populated by giant snakes, vampire bats, flesh-eating plants and huge mastodons. SATURN... a distant, ancient world of spirits where travellers are gifted - or cursed - with visions of their own deaths. A Journey to Other Worlds is a splendid piece of Victorian science fiction.
