Free (Kindle) Waters of Eternity by John Russell Fearn [Golden Age Sci-Fi Collection]

[ATDrake]

Waters of Eternity by the late British author John Russell Fearn (ISFDB, Wikipedia, SFE), edited by British author Philip Harbottle (ISFDB, SFE), is his mini-collection of three vintage science fiction novellas originally published during the 1930s-1950s, apparently with a theme of exploring strange new changing worlds, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This contains stories originally published under pseudonyms according to ISFDB: “Waters of Eternity” as by Mark Denholm, “World Without Women” and “The World in Wilderness” as by Thornton Ayre. The title novella has previously been offered in the John Russell Fearn Omnibus, but it looks like this is the first time the other two are being e-printed, or even reprinted in decades, with a new introduction by the editor.

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
Waters of Eternity is a gripping collection of three original novels from classic science fiction author, John Russell Fearn.

Never before in ebook, here are three thrillingly prophetic stories from a master of the genre.

In 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…

Next, Fearn turns to a forewarning vision of the future in which the planet has become a World Without Women, set three years after a global pandemic that eradicated the entire female population of the Earth.

That is, all but one…

And finally, in The World In Wilderness, a small group of pilots returning to Earth after observing the distant cosmic collision of two stars find something they never expected.

Every human being on the planet has disappeared.

In this captivating collection of novellas, we find John Russell Fearn at his most imaginative, engaging, and far-sighted. The ideas we gain in Waters of Eternity may yet have the power to come true…
