Cryptonomicon

https://library.hrmtc.com/2024/07/29/cryptonomicon/

Perley Poore Sheehan’s novel Woman of the Pyramid dates from 1914. A time travel love story with past lives, ghosts, Egyptology. A modern occult investigator gets involved with a queen of ancient Egypt. Very entertaining pulp adventure/romance.

The Tower of Death is a collection of Theodore Roscoe's Scarlet and Bradshaw stories from 1932. Tales of adventure in wild and exotic places, laced with considerable dashes of horror. Absolute must-reads for all adventure and pulp fiction fans.

Henry Carew’s Vampires of the Andes, a 1925 lost world novel. Inscriptions found in the Andes are linked to unimaginably old civilisations. The metaphysical, quasi-religious, mystical esoteric themes are interesting, if exceedingly weird.

John Taine’s The Purple Sapphire, an excellent 1924 lost world adventure tale. There's a kidnapped girl, an extraordinary sapphire and a genuinely interesting lost civilisation which is no utopia, there are complex heroes and plenty of danger.

Daphne du Maurier’s 1941 Frenchman’s Creek can be described as a swashbuckling romance novel. Basically a bodice-ripper with some adventure and good suspense. If you like the sound of that combination you'll like it. It is insanely romantic.

In S.P. Meek's 1931 novel The Drums of Tapajos American adventurers find a lost city (with an Atlantis link) in the Amazon rainforest. It's a flawed utopia with a dark side and the tale is interestingly ambiguous. Worth a read for lost world fans.

Loring Brent's The City of Stolen Lives collects three of his Peter the Brazen Far East adventure tales originally published in the pulp Argosy in 1918. Fast-paced, action-packed and with sinister villains. Solid pulp adventure.

Valley of the Assassins (1975), last of the four thrillers written by Marvin Albert under the name Ian MacAlister. It's about a hunt through the desert for the treasure of the infamous cult of the Assassins.

An absolutely top-notch thriller very much in the Alistair MacLean mould.

Theodore Roscoe's 1937 novel Z Is For Zombie mixes horror (with voodoo of course), adventure in the tropics, spy thriller and murder mystery (with an impossible crime).

It works superbly on all those levels. Outrageous and beautifully written.

Dwellers in the Mirage (1932) is one of A. Merritt's superb lost world tales. An engineer discovers he is a warrior from the distant past, and finds a lost world. This book has affinities with sword-and-sorcery. There is action and there is magic, there are strange gods and stranger beliefs.

Johnston McCulley is best known as the creator of Zorro. His 1912 novel King of Chaos belongs more to the late Victorian/Edwardian adventure fiction tradition than to the pulp tradition with a definite Ruritania/Prisoner of Zenda flavour.

An obscure clerk is kidnapped and told that he is actually a king.

Outlandish but fun. And there are pirates.

A.Merritt, a forgotten master of weird fiction. His work ranges from horror (Burn Witch Burn) to epic fantasy (the delightful The Ship of Ishtar). The Face in the Abyss (1931) is a blend of dark fantasy and the 19th century adventure tale in the style of H. Rider Haggard, with a dash of Conan Doyle.

And it features a great lost world. Great fun.

The Bat Staffel, first of Robert J. Hogan's G-8 and his Battle Aces novels, written during the 1930s.

The hero is American aviator and spy G-8. There’s plenty of air combat, some mild science fiction elements and hints of the occult and the supernatural. The bats and their poison bat breath are a nicely sinister touch.

Pulp fun.
