This is the book Jules Verne might have written if he had studied philosophy with the Marquis de Sade in a lunatic asylum. An astro-caffeine romp and perverse metaphysical fantasy set on the planets of a miniature solar system in the center of the hollow Earth. When a comet cracks open our world and allows these planets to spill out into the greater cosmos, only one man can exploit the catastrophe fully, the demented astronomer and coffee merchant Batavus Droogstoppel... but Batavus is now two men, a circumstance that constantly continues to complicate the chaos... "Rhys Hughes seems almost the sum of our planet's literature." - MICHAEL MOORCOCK
