In dieser großen Hörbuch Box geht es nicht um technikverliebte Weltraumliteratur a la "Perry Rhodan", sondern um klassische Literatur, die sich mit dem Thema beschäftigt, wie es in der Zukunft aussehen könnte, und das sowohl höchst realistisch als auch mit großer Hingabe zur Fiktion.

Invasion of the Sea was written in 1904 when large-scale canal digging was very much a part of the political, economic, and military strategy of the world's imperial powers.

The story raises a host of concerns—environmental, cultural, and political. The proposed sea threatens the nomadic way of life of those Islamic tribes living on the site, and they declare war.
