| Summary |
"Over the Border" by Morgan Robertson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story opens with a gripping narrative aboard the battleship Argyll, which is poised for action amidst a looming battlefield involving submarines and airships. The characters include Mr. Felton, the young torpedo officer, who finds himself in a surreal situation following an explosion that launches him into an airship and a dramatic confrontation with the evolving nature of warfare. The opening of the novel introduces us to an intense scene aboard the Argyll, where Felton and his fellow officers engage in a spirited discussion about the future of naval warfare amid advancements in technology such as submarines and airships. As they prepare for battle, a sudden explosion catapults Felton onto an airship where he is captured by a group of men who seem to operate under mysterious principles. The chaos eagerly sets the stage for a larger exploration of conflict, technology, and human resilience in the face of war, leaving readers intrigued by the unfolding drama and the complex character dynamics.
