Fantastic and Sinister Are the Lowlands into Which Philip Grant Descends on His Dangerous Assignment.
In the year 2020 the oceans have long since drained from the surface of the earth, leaving bared to sun and wind the one-time sea floor.

Into remote Lowlands, in an invisible flyer, go Grant and...

"Then you mean to say there is no such thing as the smallest particle of matter?" asked the Doctor. "You can put it that way if you like," the Chemist replied. "In other words, what I believe is that things can be infinitely small just as well as they can be infinitely large. Astronomers tell us of the immensity of space.
