The Coming Race is an 1871 novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, reprinted as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race. Among its readers have been those who have believed that its account of a superior subterranean master race and the energy-form called "Vril" is accurate, accepted the book as being (at least in part) based on occult truth. A popular book, The Morning of the Magicians (1960), suggested that a secret Vril Society existed in pre-Nazi Berlin.

About the Author:
Author of over 100 other works, SIR EDWARD BULWER-LYTTON was a prolific writer and remains, even today, a well-recognized figure in 19th century British literature. DAVID SEED is a prominent British scholar of early science fiction. He holds a personal chair in American Literature at the University of Liverpool and is the author of American Science Fiction and the Cold War.
Review:
"First published in 1871, The Coming Race represents a curious hybrid. Its premise is unflinchingly futuristic: the inevitable displacement of today's humanity by a more evolved 'race.' But the story unfolds in perhaps the last unexplored place on earth--the 'hollow' interior of the planet..."--Gerald Jonas, The New York Times Book Review
"Seed offers a comprehensive and useful critical edition of Bulwer-Lytton's early science fiction novel ... [that] illuminates the meaning and importance of this work to both writers who were Bulwer-Lytton's contemporaries and to science fiction and fantasy writers who followed him. Summing up: Highly recommended." --P.J. Kurtz, Choice
