"The Master of Light" (1933) is a murder mystery solved thanks to luminite, a glass-like substance which slows down light as it passes through, and through which one can actually witness the past. It is the fifth of a series of five volumes, translated and annotated by Stableford, devoted to presenting the classic works of this pioneering giant of French science fiction.
