Jenkins ably traces the connections between Madame Blavatsky's messages from spirit masters to Richard Shaver's pulp fiction classic "I Remember Lemuria".' - Matt Tomlinson, Associate Professor, School of Culture, History and Language, Australian National University Flying saucers display characteristic features, transmitted by an important strand of early science fiction, which express religious concerns entangled with new technologies and scientific discoveries.
