"The Coming Race" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a novel published in 1871. When a traveler descends into a chasm and becomes trapped in a subterranean world, he discovers the Vril-ya—an advanced race with telepathic powers and mastery over a mysterious energy called "Vril."

a dangerous dilemma that threatens his survival in this strange underground civilization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
