Book excerpt: This classic novel by Frank Packard deals with phases of American life hitherto untouched in fiction. It is unique, dramatic and tense with human interest. George M. Cohan, who produced the dramatization considered 'The Miracle Man' his most genuine find to date. "You see, all that this Frank L. Packard did was to conceive a striking dramatic idea and embody it in a narrative, portraying its scenes with a clarity that would leave even a continuity writer for the movies no excuse for going wrong." -The Bookman "Frank L. Packard, author of 'The Miracle Man,' has the gift of graphic writing. Indeed, so realistic is his opening chapter where we glimpse New York's real 'underworld' and make the acquaintance of a gang of thorough-going crooks....The underlying principle of the novel, however, is sound ethically, and the story is original. This band of unscrupulous seekers after 'easy money' hear of a venerable man in a Maine village who is accomplishing some wonderful faith cures. They resolve to appear one by one and become cured of various ailments which they will manufacture, and after the miracles which occur, to transform the town into a shrine for wealthy sufferers and make the 'Patriarch' a mine of gold for themselves. One of the number possesses the talent for dislocating every joint in his body; he plans to appear in this pitiable condition, and then straighten out as if cured by magic. When the real miracle appears as something very different from their planning, it is as much a surprise to the reader as to the schemers, and this is much to the credit of the author." -The Living Age "This is not the first time that we have said that Frank L. Packard was a novelist who would presently have to be reckoned with. Only this time we are prepared to go a little farther, and say that he is a novelist to be reckoned with now." -The Book News Monthly "I must assume that the reading public is familiar with the Packard story. If it isn't, I feel sorry for the reading public." -Alan Dale, New York American "Mr. Cohan, after using various books of comic interest for material has elected to make a play out of Frank L. Packard's gripping bit of fiction, 'The Miracle Man.'" -The Sun "It deals with the miraculous conversion of four hardened New York crooks into estimable characters and lovers of the simple country life. The author...handles his scenes vividly." -The Independent "Mr. Frank L. Packard's book 'The Miracle Man' is remarkable....Crooks and cranks with ways that are dark and wiles that are devious are the folk of it whom we first meet; but the 'Patriarch,' the miracle man, by his serene power, works on the spirits of these wretches fakirs and poltroons and wakes their better natures....This author, a practical engineer, a man who has worked with many men in many lands, and who has studied into causes, declares that the human will is the greatest power of the universe and that there are no limits to its conquests, if man but knows how to work in harmony with the divine forces whence come our strength." -Heart's "No man among these new authors occupies a bigger space on the map than Frank L. Packard, whose 'Miracle Man'...made a great hit." -Munsey's Magazine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was a misshapen thing, bulking a black blotch in the night at the entrance of the dark alleyway-like some lurking creature in its lair. He neither stood, nor kneeled, nor sat-no single word would describe his posture-he combined all three in a sort of repulsive, formless heap. The Flopper moved. He came out from the alleyway onto the pavement, into the lurid lights of the Bowery, flopping along knee to toe on one leg, dragging the other leg behind him-and the leg he dragged was limp and wobbled from the knee. One hand sought the pavement to balance himself and aid in locomotion; the other arm, the right, was twisted out from his body in the shape of an inverted V, the palm of his hand, with half curled, contorted fingers, almost touching his chin, as his head sagged at a stiff, set angle into his right shoulder. Hair straggled from the brim of a nondescript felt hat into his eyes, and curled, dirty and unshorn, around his ears and the nape of his neck. His face was covered with a stubble of four days' growth, his body with rags-a coat; a shirt, the button long since gone at the neck; and trousers gaping in wide rents at the knees, and torn at the ankles where they flapped around miss-mated socks and shoes.......

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Waratan, a small cargo steamer of some three thousand tons, lifted sluggishly, apathetically to the swells. The bit of sail rigged upon her gave her scarcely more than steerage-way. She carried no lights. Her engine-room hatch was carefully hooded with tarpaulins. From the depths below, muffled, there came the incessant clamor of hammers, of busy tools. The machinery was still. A mist hung in the light, following breeze, a wet mist that was almost a fine drizzle. There were no stars above. To starboard and port there was land-islands; many of them. They were there in the darkness-unseen. In the Malay Archipelago they are everywhere."--Chapter I.
