In "Tarrano the Conqueror" is presented a tale of the year 2430 A.D.--a time somewhat farther beyond our present-day era than we are beyond
Columbus' discovery of America. My desire has been to create for you the impression that you have suddenly been plunged forward into that
time--to give you the feeling Columbus might have had could he have read a novel of our present-day life.
To this end I have conceived myself a writer of that future time, addressing his contemporary public. You are to imagine yourself reading
a present day translation of my original text--a translation so free that a thousand little colloquialisms will have crept into it that could
not possibly have their counterparts in the year 2430.

Enjoyed for the most part. At times parts of story rambled by going into too much detail about unimportant parts. Reader did an excellent job.
