John Russell Fearn Books

Gyron de London, a powerful industrialist of the year 2190, receives a letter warning him of his doom on the 30th March, three weeks hence. Despite his precautions - being sealed in a guarded, radiation-proof cube - he dies on the specified day, as forecast! When scientific investigator Adam Quirke is called to investigate, he discovers that de London had been the victim of a highly scientific murder - but who was the murderer, and how was this apparently impossible crime committed?

This edition features John Russell Fearn's classic pre-war time travel novel alongside the early novelette "Invaders From Time." Both works are notable for introducing innovative concepts to the science fiction genre, offering readers a glimpse into the imaginative possibilities of time travel and its implications.

Set against the backdrop of the African jungle, Harry Perrivale's expedition takes a dark turn when trader Caleb Moon reveals his treacherous intentions to claim the legendary city of Akada for himself. Accompanied by his wife Rita and native bearers, the group faces danger as they encounter Anjani, a mysterious giant who speaks the local dialect. His presence raises questions about his past and his ties to Akada, adding layers of intrigue to this thrilling adventure reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs, now available again after sixty years.
