The Man Who Rocked the Earth Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Man Who Rocked the Earth" by Arthur Cheney Train and Robert Williams Wood is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a critical moment during World War I, where various powers are affected by seismic and supernatural phenomena that threaten global stability. The main character introduced is Bill Hood, a wireless operator who inadvertently becomes connected to extraordinary communications hinting at an impending disaster or intervention. At the start of the novel, the narrative establishes a war-torn world on the brink of collapse. Bill Hood, stationed at the Naval Observatory, receives a bizarre wireless message from an anonymous entity, Pax, claiming control over terrestrial events and announcing a forthcoming change in the length of the day. Simultaneously, the world experiences unprecedented earthquakes, the fall of notable landmarks like Cleopatra's Needle, and a series of atmospheric anomalies. As the military and scientific communities scramble to understand these occurrences, the atmosphere of impending doom propels the storyline, hinting at larger cosmic forces at play, which are intertwined with the fate of humanity during this dramatic historical period.
