Summary "Across the Zodiac" by Percy Greg is a science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles an extraordinary journey through space, specifically focusing on the protagonist's ambitious attempt to reach the planet Mars utilizing groundbreaking, albeit fictional, technology and theories about repulsive forces in space travel. The opening of "Across the Zodiac" introduces the reader to the character of Colonel A, who recounts an incident that led him to board a steamboat bound for New York. During this journey, he engages in conversations that touch upon themes of curiosity, belief, and the nature of truth, especially in light of the supernatural and spiritual phenomena. The narrative quickly evolves into a fascinating account of his shipwreck on a mysterious island, where anomalous events occur, such as a sudden destructive shock that leads to devastation around him. He eventually discovers remnants of a strange manuscript and a metallic case, hinting at an adventure that intertwines the realms of science, mystery, and the unknown as he prepares for a voyage beyond Earth.
