Galopin also wrote a number of science fiction novels in the Jules Verne and H.G. Wells style, including the remarkable Doctor Omega (1906), Louisiana Révolution de Demain (Tomorrow’s Revolution) (1909) and Le Bacille (1928), an uncannily prophetic tale of a mad scientist who uses biological warfare for revenge. He also penned numerous young adult novels, such as Le Tour du Monde de Deux Gosses (Two Kids Around The World) (1908) and Un Aviateur de 15 ans (A 15-Year Old Aviator) (1926). Galopin had Dickson team up with Sherlock Holmes in L’Homme au Complet Gris (The Manitoba in Grey) (1912), one of the first French Holmesian pastiches.
