Part two of "Hector Servadac." Several people have been carried away by a comet contacting the Earth. The comet passes by various bodies in the Solar System before returning the travelers to our own planet. Verne originally intended all his characters to die in the collision. His French publisher, however, pointed out his large juvenile readership and Verne was forced to create an optomistic, if less likely, ending. Myers 33. Taves & Michaluk V016.
