| Summary | "Two Thousand Miles Below" by Charles Willard Diffin is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around an ambitious mining engineer, Dean Rawson, and his daring pursuit of harnessing geothermal energy from the depths of the Earth. The narrative kicks off with a blend of adventure and prehistoric creatures, exploring themes of survival, technology, and ancient legends. The opening of the novel introduces us to Gor, a primitive man, as he faces an impending disaster in a cold, stormy land and proposes to lead his tribe into the depths of the Earth to escape it. The story swiftly shifts to Dean Rawson, who is navigating the extreme heat of the Tonah Basin, revealing his aspirations to tap into the Earth's energy for powering modern civilization. His encounter with Smithy, a chance meeting under dire circumstances in the desert, sets the stage for their budding partnership as they prepare to face both the natural elements and unforeseen dangers lurking within the Earth. The start of the novel blends elements of adventure, survival instinct, and fantastical encounters that offer a tantalizing glimpse into a world where ancient fears and modern ambitions collide.
