Synopsis: "A great vent opens in the Thames Valley, and molten lava flows onward to engulf London and all the Southern Counties". The terrific efforts of the hero on his fifty mile dash from Oxford to the Metropolis with only a bicycle between himself and awful death, brought tears to my eyes. -- E.J. Carnell, in "Novae Terrae" #8 (Nov. 1936).
