When he finally arrives in Hull, he finds his cousin dead in his hotel room and a valuable consignment of jewels missing. Allerdykes only clue rests with that woman hurrying off to Scotland. Written in beautifully period English, this mystery has many threads to solve. The main characters work wonderfully with each other to solve the mystery, with the assistance of the British police. There are enough twists and turns and revelations to keep you busy right to the end.

Der Autor beschreibt Zukunft und Raum, technische Möglichkeiten und deren Auswirkungen, Katastrophen der spezifischen Wissenschaftsglauben und innere Kraft des Menschen, die bei der Überlebung eine bedeutende Rolle spielt. In seinen Zukunftserzählungen wird jedoch trotz allen technischen Fortschritts immer wieder deutlich, dass die Menschen ihrem Naturell treu bleiben und dass die Liebe nie an Bedeutung verliert. Zu Besuch bei den Bewohnern der Seifenblase, die die Wissenschaft hochhalten und in einer schillernden Welt leben. Ein modernes Märchen vom Vater der deutschen Science Fiction.

Robert E. Howard

A faint scent of smoke was apparent. The man whose long, swinging strides, unhurried yet unswerving, had carried him for many a mile since sunrise, stopped suddenly. A movement in the trees had caught his attention, and he moved silently toward the shadows, a hand resting lightly on the hilt of his long, slim rapier.
