Edwin L. Arnold. "Dare I say it? Dare I say that I,
a plain, prosaic lieutenant in the republican service have done the incredible things here
set out for the love of a woman--for a chimera in female shape; for a pale, vapid ghost of
woman-loveliness? At times I tell myself I dare not: that you will laugh, and cast me
aside as a fabricator; and then again I pick up my pen and collect the scattered pages,
for I MUST write it the pallid splendour of that thing I loved, and won, and lost is ever
before me, and will not be forgotten. The tumult of the struggle into which that vision
led me still throbs in my mind, the soft, lisping voices of the planet I ransacked for its
sake and the roar of the destruction which followed me back from the quest drowns all
other sounds in my ears! I must and will write--it relieves me; read and believe as you
list." Credit: Bob Hicks (pdcbob@aol.com) of America Online's PDA Forum.

by Jules Verne. It was seen first in North Carolina, or something was,
smoking up from a mountain crater. With blinding speed, it roared past cars on a
Pennsylvania road. It skimmed the Atlantic, then - at the flick of its captain's will -
dove beneath the waves. Jules Verne's MASTER OF THE WORLD was first published in 1904.
Long recognized as a truly prophetic science-fiction classic, it is also an xciting,
suspenseful adventure that the passage of time has not diminished. Credit: Bob Hicks

by Edgar Rice Burroughs. "Monster Men" was originally
published under the title "A Man Without a Soul" in 1913. As the last and
seemingly most successful of Professor Maxon's creations, Number Thirteen seemed
human...but how human was he? Monster Men is a story of high adventure in the Java Sea
Islands. Credit: Bob Hicks (pdcbob@aol.com) of America Online's PDA Forum.
by Jules Verne. Captain Cyrus Harding and his crew of four escaped Union
prisoners fled Confederate Richmond in a balloon, only to become involved in one of the

Island is one of Jules Verne's most fascinating adventures. Be advised that this Newton
