He is not concerned about winning a case, as it has already been withdrawn, but about understanding what is right. Sir Abraham, however,…

Chapter XVI — Crome yellow

Chapter XIX — The coming Race
Chapter XIX begins with a detour. As we returned toward the city, Taee suggested an alternate path that would take us past the central departure station used by travelers and emigrants. I agreed out of curiosity, eager to see more of this remarkable world. What awaited was a display of mobility unlike anything I’d encountered. The land transports, powered entirely by vril, ranged from small personal units to vast, multi-roomed homes on wheels. These vehicles moved silently, their motion graceful and…-
