THE WORLD PERIL OF 1910 BY GEORGE GRIFFITH
Originally published in 1907, this little-known science fiction classic describes a planet beset by world war---a war involving super-weapons of almost inconceivable power---while under the threat of annihilation by a fast-approaching comet.

His works appeared in magazines such as Pearson's Magazine. Griffith was never popular in the United States due to his political views, and though outsellling HG Wells was overshadowed by his fame.

Undeniably the most popular science fiction writer in England between 1893 and 1895.
