Science Fiction
Fenton Ash
Early science fiction, a cult classic, an enjoyable adventure. The story opens when our hero and his friends go to South America to look for radium, which has anti-gravity properties, and battle with a race of cruel Inca-type people who use the radium to fly, and disguise themselves as giant birds and terrorize the locals. The Radium Seekers is a fairly good novel written by Frank Aubrey. Francis Henry Frank Atkins (18471927) was a British writer of pulp fiction, in particular science fiction aimed at younger readers, writing at least three Lost-World novels along with much else. He wrote under the pseudonyms Frank Aubrey and Fenton Ash.
George Griffiths
The Raid of Le Vengeur is a mind game of scientists, so to speak. This is a story about dueling military scientists in Britain and France. They are trying to figure out how to unite in a race to learn how to improve their military power with the help of submarines. This story promises to be fascinating.

George Griffiths has written many science fiction novels. Each is unique in itself. The Romance of Golden Star is one of those. At the heart of the plot is a story about researchers who go in search of a Lost Inca tribe in Peru.
Jack London

A framing story is told in the first person by Darrell Standing, a university professor serving life imprisonment in San Quentin State Prison for murder. Prison officials try to break his spirit by means of a torture device called "the jacket," a canvas jacket which can be tightly laced so as to compress the whole body, inducing angina. Standing discovers how to withstand the torture by entering a kind of trance state, in which he walks among the stars and experiences portions of past lives.
Dick Donovan
A well-travelled journalist James Edward Preston Muddock though he was better known as Joyce Emerson Preston Muddock, wrote prolifically in a number of genres. The vast majority of his output were sensational detective stories in which Dick Donovan was the main character.

The Age of Miracles produces an amazing suicide and a triumphant return from death. A million dollar prize is offered and won for the most perfect automation. The Revenge of the Robot and Other Tales is a collection of thrilling sci-fi stories from mechanistic progress, written by Otis Adelbert Kline, who was an adventure and science-fiction novelist of the pulp era. Kline is perhaps best known for his novelistic feud with Edgar Rice Burroughs. He wrote Planet of Peril (1929) and two other novels set on the planet Venus and written in the storytelling form of the John Carter of Mars novels, prompting Burroughs to write his own stories set on Venus. In return, Kline wrote two novels set on Mars, as well as several jungle adventurers quite reminiscent of Burroughss Tarzan.
The Thing That Walked in the Rain
Otis Adelbert Kline
Those readers who had been charmed by Otis Adelbert Klines swashbuckling sci-fi adventures would not have long to wait before they were treated to that novels follow-up thrill ride. The Thing That Walked in the Rain provides another interplanetary adventure. Considered by many to be the only true equal of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline was a master of the sword and planet genre. From his position on the original editorial staff of Weird Tales and as the literary agent for Conan creator Robert E. Howard, Kline helped shape the face of science fiction as we know it. Kline represented Howard from the Spring of 1933 until Howards death in June 1936, and continued to act as literary agent for Howards estate thereafter. This one is doing all of those things you expect and want a classic pulp sci-fi to do, not the least of which being to put a smile on your face.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
“The Warlord of Mars“ is a novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, an American fiction writer, who created such great characters as Tarzan and John Carter of Mars. The Warlord of Mars is a science fantasy novel, the third of the Barsoom series. It features the characters of John Carter and Carter's wife Dejah Thoris. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the series is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
George Griffiths
Another masterpiece by George Griffiths that deserves attention. The World Masters is an exciting, story that explores the unintended consequences of uncontrolled scientific innovation. What will the author offer us this time? This novel shows that you need to be careful before new scientific innovations.
George Griffiths
George Griffiths probably touched the most difficult topic war. Insidious continental powers invaded Britain with the help of the technological genius of the cunning Irishman. The world is engulfed in war. A giant comet is on its way to Earth to destroy it.
