Harold Bindloss
Churches, banks, offices and accommodations curiously combining the old and the newest pink tiers on a par with the magnificent red Frontenac Hotel. It would seem such a simple city. However, it was something unusual mystical. The people who lived here enjoyed life at first until something went wrong. The story is full of mysteries, and the answers to which lie at the very end.
Robert E. Howard
The Iron Man has fought since time immemorial -- with but one thought in mind -- to get to his foe and crush him. The centuries, the costumes, the weapons are different. The object is the same. The gore and savagery of Howards tales of the ring is little removed from those exploits of Conan and Kull and Bran Mak Morn.It is common knowledge that Robert E. Howard was a boxing enthusiast, and his fellow author H. P. Lovecraft tied Howards interest in sports directly to his love of primitive conflict and strength.."In The Iron Man are three of Howards best tales of the ring -- certainly tales of primitive conflict and strength which are collected in book form for the first time.
Rex Beach
Beach is at his best as an action adventure writer. You can feel the chill of the northwest glaciers and shudder at the threats of nature and unscrupulous people. Along with the man vs. nature plot, theres a tender romance off the beaten path.
Robert E. Howard
The long low craft which rode off-shore had an unsavory look, and lying close in my covert, I was glad that I had not hailed her. Caution had prompted me to conceal myself and observe her crew before making my presence known, and now I thanked my guardian spirit; for these were troublous times and strange craft haunted the Caribees.
H. Rider Haggard
Another compelling and well-written story by H. Rider Haggard! It all starts quite gradually, in England, where the great hunter Allan Quatermain is making one of his rare trips outside of Africa. The story returns to Africa, and Quatermain talks about the unsuccessful speculation at the gold mine. Meanwhile, events that began many years ago in England are developing, and other heroes arrive in Africa for further adventures.
Talbot Mundy
Sometimes a big and dangerous adventure is fabulous wealth. There were hundred million pounds of ivory in those places that just waited for them! But, of course, the ivory was hidden in the darkest heart of Africa, and if they came out of the continent, they would certainly have to deal with the colonial government. But what a wonderful adventure without danger and call?
Max Brand
One of the most prolific writers of all time, he wrote more than 500 novels and nearly 15 million words under the pen name of Max Brand and seventeen others. Alongside Zane Grey, the western section of any bookstore is usually packed with Max Brand titles. The Jackson Trail is another outstanding western that demands your attention. In it, Jesse Jackson is riding where the law feared to go... Packed with enough action and interesting twists to please even the most die-hard fans of the genre, the novel also addresses a wide range of important themes with insight and sensitivity. Max Brand leads the reader on a very authentic tale of the old west the way it was. Written in the thirties, but still fresh and enjoyable today.
Henry Bedford-Jones
Written in the cycle of tales by H. Bedford-Jones, The Justice of Amru tells how fanatic followers of Mohammed stormed out of Arabia in the seventh century to slaughter the Greek troops of the Great Eastern Empire and conquer Egypt... and again the strange Sphinx Emerald came to the scene to play its part in the unrolling historic drama.
