Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program) Description A collection of six major works by science-fiction pioneer John Russell Fearn are now available in this special omnibus edition. The Best of John Russell Fearn Volume 1 Seven classic stories written by John Russell Fearn from science fiction’s golden age, selected from Amazing Stories, Astounding Stories, Science Fiction, Thrilling Wonder Stories, and Weird Tales. The Best of John Russell Fearn Volume 2 Fascinated by the scientific theories of James Jeans, and hugely influenced by the writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Fearn explores cosmogony, human relationships, and the dangers of meddling with science through this collection of short stories. Waters of Eternity Life on Mars takes a terrifying turn as Rad and his partner Invia realise that the resources of the planet have grown scarce. Forced into action, they turn to the only option they have left – a complex water compound of immense power and great danger… War of the Scientists When a newly-colonized Mars decides to rise up against its Earth-based predecessors, all hell breaks loose. And things go from bad to worse when they launch an atmosphere-compromising particle beam that could lead to a galactic war… Secret of the Buried City When Rodney Marlow purchases a new plot of land, he thinks he has struck gold. A perfect idyll, out in the countryside. But all that is about to change… As he ventures further into the cavern, Rodney uncovers something that he would never have expected: a secret city under the Earth... The Multillionth Chance When a freak accident during an experiment causes a mysterious girl to appear, scientists are left wondering where she came from and why they cannot understand her. She turns out to be from an ancient, astral civilisation and her materialisation is down to the magic of entropy - the multillionth chance. |
