""The Coming Race"" is a science fiction novel written by Annie Besant, first published in 1887.

The narrator, a wealthy American named Adam, discovers a secret entrance to the underground world and is taken in by the Vril-ya. He learns about their society, which is based on the use of a powerful energy source called ""Vril"" that gives them extraordinary abilities and allows them to manipulate matter and energy.
