<p> „The Way of an Eagle” novel (1919) opens in India, as scapegrace Nick Ratcliffe rescues Muriel, the general’s daughter, from dire peril. Between starvation and attack, death is almost certain. Nick is small, odd-looking, and unpredictable. But he has somehow won the general’s unconditional confidence. Not so with Muriel. Repelled yet fascinated by his mockery and ferocity – his way of an eagle – she agrees to a betrothal, then breaks it off for clean-cut Blake Grange. Back in England, Muriel gradually learns the truth of her feelings and of Blake’s. But when she returns to India Nick, now maimed in his country’s service, is nowhere to be seen until new peril strikes. True love prevails. This is an old-fashioned adventure/romance and it’s impossible to put down.</p>

<p> Those readers who had been charmed by Otis Adelbert Kline’s swashbuckling sci-fi adventures would not have long to wait before they were treated to that novel’s follow-up thrill ride. „The Thing That Walked in the Rain” provides another interplanetary adventure. Considered by many to be the only true equal of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline was a master of the sword and planet genre. From his position on the original editorial staff of Weird Tales and as the literary agent for Conan creator Robert E. Howard, Kline helped shape the face of science fiction as we know it. Kline represented Howard from the Spring of 1933 until Howard’s death in June 1936, and continued to act as literary agent for Howard’s estate thereafter. This one is doing all of those things you expect and want a classic pulp sci-fi to do, not the least of which being to put a smile on your face.</p>

<p> Malcolm Jameson was an American Golden Age science fiction author who began writing only seven years before his death. Drawing from his experiences of navy and warfare he gave a personal touch to all of his stories. He is now chiefly remembered for his Captain Bullard stories which chronicles the journey of a young officer into a fleet admiral of space ship and to most critics seem like a precursor of the modern day space exploration series like Star Trek. „Wreckers of the Star Patrol” gathers together four classic science fiction novelettes that have not appeared in print anywhere for almost a half century. It includes: „Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, „Tricky Tonnage”, „Children of the ’Betsy B’”. Fans of Jameson’s Bullard tales will love the short novel of space adventure, „Wreckers of the Star Patrol”.</p>
