Download or read book The Great Detective at the Crucible of Life written by Thomas Kent Miller and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Ethiopia and beyond, Sherlock Holmes encounters both the hideous and the divine, ripping asunder the fragile veil separating us from worlds unknown-all while in the company of the renowned Allan Quatermain. The last of Allan Quatermain's true African adventures to appear, The Treasure of the Lake, was published nearly a century ago in 1926. Those who lusted to vicariously accompany Quatermain on new perilous treks into the vast reaches of the "Dark Continent" (as they had done to King Solomon's Mines) had no choice but to remain disappointed. UNTIL NOW! Recently found amongst some obscure papers at Brown University, this new manuscript chronicles a complex and inspired quest headed by Quatermain deep into the earthquake- and volcano-ripped Danakil Desert of Ethiopia in 1872 accompanied by his devoted aide-de-camp Hans and a host of the nineteenth century's most prodigious luminaries, including astronomer Maria Mitchell, volcanologist Axel Lindenbrock, and Gunnery Sergeants Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnehan. Along the way, this ragtag troop is brutally attacked in the desert by its trophy-hunting denizens, and then they discover a 2,000-year-old lost city. Yet Holmes' and Quatermain’s quest is not merely one of surviving in Ethiopia’s beautiful yet tortuous landscapes; they must confront horror and overcome it. As the tale unfolds, readers will be swallowed by a maelstrom of concepts, relentlessly pulled headlong, descending into a scholarly labyrinth of interwoven writings. In point of fact, Quatermain encounters no less than the very essence of the meaning of life, which he then discounts as a wizard's trick!

In the midst of all the danger faced, close calls, magnificent landscapes, wry humor, stern and practical questioning, and even a lost city, Quatermain documents several thrilling incidents, including his finding, no less than the very essence of the meaning of life, which he then-as he frequently did-discounts as a wizard's trick! And, and of course, along the way, Quatermain crosses paths with-not one but two of the greatest detectives of his era!

Download or read book The Sussex Beekeeper at the Dawn of Time written by Thomas Kent Miller and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2022-09-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sussex Beekeeper at the Dawn of Time is an unconventional and breath-taking tour de force that flirts with the crossover and steampunk genres. The book knits together a transcribed oral memoir, newspaper clippings, and myriad letters and journal pages from across two millennia, much of it held together by the pithy comments (in the form of short notations on the edges of a quarter-century-old yellowed journal) of a certain elderly beekeeper residing in Sussex, England. While comparatively few, these notes are nonetheless the essential marble skeleton on which the whole denouement and structure of the book hangs. In a sense, much of the book comprises a straightforward objective record of the excavation of "historical" minutiae and “forgotten” manuscripts. But then those mildewed scraps of parchment, paper, and scrolls are assembled into something far greater than the sum of their parts. The objective reportage plus the finished assemblage comprises the novel.

Download or read book Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Bedeviled Foot written by Thomas Kent Miller and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2023-05-10 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adventure of the Bedeviled Foot is at once an exciting prequel to as well as a sequel to The Adventure of the Devils Foot-Sherlock Holmes strangest case. Holmes and Watson were supposed to be on vacation of sorts amongst the Cornish greenery and archaeological treasures, since it had become clear enough that the pressure of the detectives investigations had taken a toll on his nerves, and a few days away from London in the country was prescribed. But their excursion was rudely interrupted when murders most heinous came to light. The so-called Devils Foot was a deadly substance of unknown origin that kills when inhaled. The earlier story directed our attention to the unflawed greenery of the Cornish countryside. The Bedeviled Foot finds Holmes on the African veldt combatting the Devils own legions of marauding little buggers, where he encounters the root of that curiously toxic devils foot for the first time.
