The Smoky God

About this book

Beyond the Arctic ice, a sailor discovers an opening into the Earth itself. There he encounters a vast inhabited interior lit by a mysterious central sun known as the Smoky God.

Willis George Emerson presents Olaf Jansen's extraordinary journey as a sailor's firsthand testimony. The traveller describes vast inhabitants, unfamiliar customs and a civilisation hidden below the Earth's surface. The calm reporting style is part of the fantasy's peculiar charm: even the impossible is given the detail of a voyage carefully remembered.
