The Coming Race

The Coming Race is an 1871 novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, reprinted as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race. Among its readers have been those who have believed that its account of a superior subterranean master race and the energy-form called "Vril" is accurate, to the extent that some theosophists, notably Helena Blavatsky, William Scott-Elliot, and Rudolf Steiner, accepted the book as being (at least in part) based on occult truth. A popular book, The Morning of the Magicians (1960), suggested that a secret Vril Society existed in pre-Nazi Berlin. However, there is no historical evidence for the existence of such a society.

Just a quick summary of a 150 year old book. Two men find an opening to a subterranean world in a mine. One falls to his death and the other is stuck there with no way of returning. A bipedal lizard man takes the body which frightened his companion. In search of safety he comes across a seven foot tall humanoid carrying a staff. This being protected him and they essentially held him prisoner for fear more surface people would come. As time went on a native woman falls in love with him. She reopened the sealed passage with her vril staff and flies him back through it with her mechanical wings.
