William J. Locke
This is a late set of long stories that are read at the pace of a narrator who is in no hurry. Similarly, Locke does not tell his story to the great storyteller, an English artist named Charles Fontenay, who lives for health in the south of France in Cannes, often tells his usual storyteller, whose stories he reports, Monsieur Alcide Tombarelle, mayor of Creel Mountain City, to speed up or stop being distracted.
Robert W. Chambers
This story is about love, about love for many people. The main character was thirty-three years old, it was pleasant to look at him, he was very developed. Mr. Keynes is a detective with an uncanny knack for solving strange disappearances.

Arthur Conan Doyle
Ten tourists from England, Ireland, America and France, six men and four women are on a vacation trip down the Nile in 1895. Without warning they are captured by Islamic terrorists, and the possibility of rescue becomes more remote with each passing day. Their choice is a stark one: either convert to Islam and become slaves for the rest of their lives or die. In this story, the reader is swept out of the placid stream of existence and dashed against the horrible jagged facts of life. Written toward the end of the Victorian era and permeated with a sense of fear and uncertainty, this story calls into question the moral authority of Europes presence in the Arab peninsula and the cultural supremacy of British colonialism, all the while demonstrating Conan Doyles unparalleled ability as a storyteller.
Zane Grey
A great story by the greatest novelist of the American West. This one is about the tough men and women who made their living by obtaining herds of cattle and driving them across large territories to be sold. Driving forty-five hundred longhorns is hard enough, but in addition to leading the biggest cattle drive in the history of the Chisholm Trail, Adam Brite and his ten trail-hardened partners have to contend with the fury of nature and man. They were going all the way from San Antonio to Dodge. They expected plenty of trouble. They got it... Lots of action, quick shooting, slow drawling cowboys. A romance with a girl masquerading as a boy horse wrangler, but her identity is early discovered so the proprieties remain unscathed.
