A Journey in Other Worlds: A Romance of the Future

The book offers a fictional account of life in the year 2088. It contains abundant speculation about technological invention, including descriptions of a worldwide telephone network, solar power, air travel, space travel to the planets Saturn and Jupiter, and terraforming engineering projects — damming the Arctic Ocean, and adjusting the Earth's axial tilt (by the Terrestrial Axis Straightening Company).

A Jacobite exile

Sir Marmaduke was, at that time, only a child, but he still remembered how the Roundhead soldiers had lorded it there, when his father was away fighting with the army of the king; how they had seated themselves at the board, and had ordered his mother about as if she had been a scullion, jeering her with cruel words as to what would have been the fate of her husband, if they had caught him there, until, though but eight years old, he had smitten one of the troopers, as he sat, with all his force.

Kings Comrade

"King's Comrade" is again three generations later (after Prince of Cornwall), ca. 790 AD. Mainly focused on inter-Saxon conflict (King Ethelbert, King Offa), and problems with the Welsh (who still would like to get their lost estates back...). Introduces Norse campaigns on the Frankish coast (founding the Norse state of Normandy).

Lieutenant at Eighteen

These books are all you could hope for: breathlessly optimistic stories of train wrecks, steamboat explosions, an escape from Libby Prison, secret codes deciphered, blockade runners foiled, slaveholders defied, betrayals and reverses, etc. etc.  You also get Oliver Optic’s weirdly amiable and funny narrative voice—“weird” in the context of the subject matter.  The books were written at the end of the Civil War, while the artillery barrels were still cooling and the bodies being shipped home from the battlefields for burial.
