Blair tells an extravagant tale of a future age in which the peoples of the Earth have been united in a Christian "Mundo-Lunar Republic", and other planets in the solar system have been reached and their native inhabitants encountered.One modern critic has called Blair's book "a hodge-podge of interplanetary travel and super-scientific inventions" but also "a speculation of Stapledonian magnitude."George Locke, "Wells in Three Volumes? A Sketch of British Publishing in the 19th Century", Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 3 Part 3 (November 1976), pp. 282–6; see p. 283. In the view of another, Blair portrays "the union of science and religion...under the sign of a positivist Deism mixed up with various utopian socialisms, and progressing from one technological wonder to another."Darko Suvin, "Victorian Science Fiction, 1871–85: The Rise of the Alternative History Sub-Genre [sic]", Science Fiction Studies Vol. 10, No. 2 (July 1983), pp. 148–69; see p. 154. .
