In Polar Seas

Fenton Ash

The works of Fenton Ash are highly prized among bibliophile collectors of classic sci-fi and fantasy. Fenton Ash was a pseudonym of Francis Henry Atkins (1847-1927), who contributed widely to the pre-science fiction pulp magazines, writing at least three Lost-World novels along with much else. In Polar Seas is a romance of adventure in the frozen North, targeted mainly at juvenile readers but billed as being for readers of all ages, it describes the adventures of a team of British explorers who discover a lost Viking civilization in a hitherto unknown temperate zone near the North Pole. If you havent discovered the joys of Fenton Ashs adventures there is a good place to start. Highly recommended!

Apache Gold. A Story of the Strange Southwest

Joseph A. Altsheler

Apache Gold, A Story of the Strange Southwest is a rip-roaring tale of adventure set on the Arizona frontiers of the American Old West written by Joseph Alexander Altsheler (April 29, 1862 June 5, 1919). He was an American newspaper reporter, editor and author of popular juvenile historical fiction. An abiding classic of western literature, our hero in this tale is Charles Wayne, a young but strong and sharp lad who seeks adventure in the southwesterly desert frontier of Arizona. Charles has terrifying encounters with wild beasts and Indians when he searches for the lost treasure of the Spaniards. Joseph A. Altsheler describes the vast open frontier evocatively, placing the reader in a time when equal measures of freedom and danger were abundant. Throughout Mr. Waynes traversals, were reminded of how difficult it was to survive let alone thrive in the Old West. The beauty of the unforgiving land forms a vibrant backdrop to the scrapes and challenges our heroes must face.
