Download or read book Thyra written by Robert Ames Bennet and published by . This book was released on 1901 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review by Darius M. Klein: "A Classic of the Genre" is how Jessica Salmonsen has described this work. Robert Ames Bennet was primarily a writer of Westerns, but also wrote two Lost Race romances, one of which is "Thyra: A Romance of the Polar Pit." The plot concerns a group of explorers who fly in a balloon to the North Pole, where they discover, via an opening, that the earth is indeed hollow. Once inside the earth they encounter Viking and Neanderthal communities, along with survivals of Mesozoic megafauna. "Thyra" manages to intertwine the Utopian Lost Race and Lost World subgenres into a single, action-packed plot which never meanders or digresses. The first Viking community upon which the heroes stumble after they enter the bowels of the Earth (and where they find the eponymous heroine) is an unlikely Christian-Socialist Utopia. As they penetrate further into the Earth's interior, they encounter those Vikings who have given themselves over to idolatry and human sacrifice, along with a community of stereotypically aggressive and bestial Neanderthals. At the novel's climax, they have a perilous close encounter with some demonic prehistoric reptiles in the Hela Pool (a particularly well-written scene). The copy of this work which I obtained is a photocopy of the microfilm of the original 1901 edition, which has delightfully quaint illustrations; I don't know if they have been reproduced in the "Lost Race and Adult Fantasy Fiction" series' edition. Mr. Bennet's other Lost Race Romance, "The Bowl of Baal," also combines Lost Race and Lost World motifs, and is recommended here. Of the two, however, "Thyra" is the better.

And not the blood.In the wake of the slayings, parent groups and PTAs lobby for a shutdown while thrill seekers-including many of Norah's classmates- clamor to visit the "real" haunted house.Tormented by survivor's guilt, Norah secretly plans to retrace her brother's final steps.But the killer hasn't chosen his hunting ground at random.

Download or read book The Path of the King written by John Buchan and published by London : Hodder and Stoughton, [192-?]. This book was released on 1921 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by a friend's hypothesis - that great leaders or creative geniuses, apparently from humble backgrounds, may have royal ancestry in their distant past, which will 2flare up3 at the appointed time - Buchan creates 14 self-sufficient stories, each set at different historical periods spanning 1000 years, linked only by the passing down through the generations of a gold ring, and the common surname of some of the tales' heroes. Each story hints at one person who lives to continue the line through history; the tales range from the era of Norse legend, via Norman England, mediaeval Bruges (an English heroine, wife of a Flemish merchant), a French king's envoy undertaking a fearful journey to Tartar lands during the Crusades; the 100 years war (Maid of Orleans and her admirers,) exploration in Columbus' time, Huguenot riots in Paris, Walter Raleigh dying on a voyage to West Indies, Oliver Cromwell debating regicide with his legal advisor, Catholic/Protestant feuds in 1600's London, a spy in Jacobite Scotland, 3 trappers in Kentucky, and finally, the death in Indiana of Nancy Linkhorn, mother of a future leader in the 19th century, the 2first American3 but also 2the last of the Kings3.
