His visionary stories came out in magazines such as Pearson's Magazine and Pearson's Weekly before being published as novels. The Angel of the Revolution: A Tale of the Coming Terror was his first published novel and most well-known work. Partly Jules Verne, partly imaginative futuristic air warfare Utopian visions. The novel is about a group of 'terrorists' who conquer the world through airship warfare. Led by a Russian Jewish father and daughter, the 'angel' Natasha, 'The Brotherhood of Freedom' establish a 'pax aeronautica' over the earth after using the technological invention of an airship by a young inventor in 1903. He falls in love with Natasha and joins the Brotherhood of Freedom in their war against the establishment and the Russian Tsar.
