Przygodowa
A. E. W. Mason
Podczas pobytu w Birmie pułkownik John Strickland poszukuje rubinu na prezent dla swej czarującej, ale trochę postrzelonej przyjaciółki Ariadne Ferne. W międzyczasie Strickland zostaje poproszony o wzięcie udziału w polowaniu i zastrzelenie budzącego strach w okolicy tygrysa-ludojada. Mężczyzna z oddaniem realizuje swoją misję i nawet nocą stara się wytropić w dżungli groźnego drapieżnika. Kiedy w świetle księżyca jego oczom wreszcie ukazuje się coś, co przypomina wielkiego, dzikiego kota, okazuje się... że to nie żaden tygrys, ale ludzka bestia ukryta w zwierzęcej skórze. ,,Człowiek tygrys" z 1927 r. to udane połączenie powieści detektywistycznej, pełnego grozy thrillera oraz klasycznego romansu - całość utrzymana jest na wysokim poziomie literackim. Jeśli szukasz pełnej mrocznych zagadek lektury z dreszczykiem, z pewnością przypadnie ci do gustu to dzieło A. E. W. Masona.
Człowiek z zegarkami. The Man with the Watches
Arthur Conan Doyle
Człowiek z zegarkami. The Man with the Watches. Książka w dwóch wersjach językowych: polskiej i angielskiej. A dual Polish-English language edition. Fragment książki: Niejeden zapewne pamięta jeszcze zagadkową sprawę, o której pod tytułem: ˝Tajemnica w Rugby˝, rozpisywały się dzienniki na wiosnę roku 1901. Ponieważ zdarzenie to przypadło w okresie wyjątkowej posuchy pod względem wiadomości politycznych i bieżących, więc może więcej ściągnęło uwagi, niż nawet było warto, i silnie pobudziło wyobraźnię ogółu. Zainteresowanie zmniejszyło się jednakże, gdy po całych tygodniach daremnych dochodzeń, nie znaleziono ostatecznego rozwiązania faktów, tak, że wypadek ten musiano zaliczyć do rzędu zbrodni niewytłumaczonych i nieukaranych. W ostatnich czasach nadesłano jednak, z niewątpliwie wiarogodnego źródła wyjaśnienie tajemnicy, której podstawowe fakty dobrze będzie dla przypomnienia powtórzyć... W Rugby uwagę urzędników zwróciła okoliczność, że drzwi jednego z przedziałów pierwszej klasy były otwarte. Zbadanie tego przedziału i sąsiedniego wykazało rzeczy dziwne. Zachęcamy, by dowiedzieć się co będzie dalej!

B.M. Bower
Around 1900 Bower started to write about the wild west and she was one of a few women writers that wrote like a man and fooled most of her readers at the time. Not afraid to write about the violent times she is one of the best western writers ever, that this book is one of her finest of her character creations. Medicine was a hero among the cowhands of the Flying U after he saved the stranger on horseback who had been struck by lightning. However, their mysterious guest seemed to have amnesia and couldnt remember who he was, so they called him Nameless. A fantastic sequel to Chip of the Flying U, Dark Horse is not to be missed by fans of Bowers wonderful work.
Henry Bedford-Jones
H. Bedford-Jones DArtagnan is a sequel to the first Musketeer book of Alexandre Dumas. It continues the rollicking romantic romp through pre-revolutionary France by following the further pursuits of the famous musketeer DArtagnan. Bedford-Jones reunites the young Gascon with his old comrades-in-arms Athos, Porthos and Aramis to defend again the honor of the queen in an intrigue of Cardinal Richelieu.

Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane. Or Daring Adventures over the Great Lakes
Roy Rockwood
Running an airship took nerve, steadiness of purpose, a definite, concrete way of looking at things. Dave knew in his own mind that the Drifter was each hour speeding farther and farther away from the haunts of men. He recalled the old adage, however, which says the more haste the less speed, and he determined to stick to the plan he had mentally outlined at the start. In Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane, Dave is called in to assist in the recovery of a hydro-aeroplane, or as we would know it, a seaplane. Criminals have already figured out how to use this exciting new invention for evil, and Dave must nip it in the bud! This second volume of the series shows how Dave continued his career as a birdman and had many adventures over the Great Lakes, and how he foiled the plans of some Canadian smugglers.
