Cummings, Ray: Tarrano The Conqueror. v1, 24 Sept 2008
Another great Sc-Fi novel by Ray Cummings.
As one reviewer on Amazon states:
"Tarrano the Conqueror" was serialized in Hugo Gernsback's Science and Invention in 1925 and published in book form five years later. It contains one of Cummings's best villains. In most of Cummings's novels, the villains are either deformed or ugly. Physical abnormality is linked with moral depravity. Not so with Tarrano. He is described as hawklike, handsome, and smiling. He has a musical voice. But perhaps most significantly, he has a magnetic personality, [and] a dominant force...."
Like all books I assemble on MobileRead, this too was assembled to reflect human intervention and artistic judgment.
I hope you enjoy it.
