A Honeymoon in Space: A grand Victorian Science Fiction epic of interplanetary exploration and cosmic romance as two lovers cruise the Solar System in a miraculous anti-gravity starship.

What if the greatest honeymoon in history took place among the stars? In the year 1900, as the world stands on the brink of a devastating global conflict, a brilliant nobleman and a daring American heiress vanish from the surface of the Earth. Lord Redgrave has done the impossible: he has realized the dreams of a forgotten genius to build the Astronef, a vessel capable of navigating the shoreless ocean of space. His mission is twofold—to prevent a world war through the sheer awe of his technology, and to steal away his true love, Zaidie Rennick, from a soul-crushing marriage of convenience.

A Honeymoon in Space is a foundational masterpiece of Science Fiction that predates the modern space opera. From the breathtaking heights of the Atlantic clouds to the desolate, ghost-haunted craters of the Moon, follow Lenox and Zaidie as they witness sights no human eye was ever meant to see. Their journey is a 'Grand Tour' of the solar system, discovering the secrets of Mars, the beauty of Venus, and the terrifying silence of dead civilizations.

Why you will love this: Fans of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells will find a kindred spirit in Griffith’s work. This story masterfully blends Steampunk aesthetics with Hard Science Fiction concepts of gravity and atmosphere, all wrapped in a sweeping Planetary Romance. It is an essential listen for anyone who craves high-adventure exploration, retro-futurism, and the enduring power of human ingenuity against the infinite dark.

George Griffith was a prolific pioneer of the 'scientific romance' in the late 19th century. Known for his staggering imagination and ability to predict future technologies, his legacy as a titan of early Science Fiction is perfectly captured in this cinematic, star-bound odyssey.
