The essence of the adventure story is, above all, travel. If the author is to indulge his reader's taste for the wonderful and the marvellous, he must, if he is dealing with anyone but the most sophisticated reader of science-fiction, do it in a way that provides a scale against which the wonders may stand out. A strange being may be brought to familiar surroundings, or alternatively, and much more commonly, a neighbour, as it were, may be projected into a foreign environment, about which he later gives us his account.
