The Amazon Strikes Again by John Russell Fearn EPUB

Cold and brilliant light suddenly split the darkness and the Amazon found herself staring at massive electromagnets and the faces of white-garbed scientists gazing at her in triumph.

Hellish, destructive storms are breaking out over major cities all around the world.

Left in semi-ruins, these cities are struggling in the aftermath and the world is reeling. What is the cause of these great storms? Sun spots?

However, a chance sighting of strange lights, not unlike the Aurora Borealis, over the South Pole offers a clue on the subject, and the pilot that spotted the lights so happens to work for Dodd Space line, headed by Chris Wilson.

Wilson turns to Violet Ray Brant, known as the Golden Amazon, for help. After her earlier rampages, the Amazon has turned her superior intellect and great strength to the forward progress of science and the exploration of space.

Upon hearing of the strange electric lights, she immediately sets off in her Ultra to get to the bottom of it.

She soon finds a stowaway, her beloved 'niece' Ethel Wilson, who has been a companion on previous adventures. As they get close to the South Pole, they see a curious village, but suddenly the Ultra shuts down and they have to make an emergency landing.

After walking to the village, they discover citizens hidden from time, speaking in a strange dialect and with stranger customs, that speak of a mysterious Controller and take the two women captive.

Will the Amazon be able to break free and find the answer to these mysterious storms? Will her cool intellect and superior strength once again find a way to defeat the evil of the world?

Praise for John Russell

“… A pioneer of science fiction […] he was one of the Greats of the earlier ages, and his name should be there with Hugo Gernsback, John W. Campbell, Stanley G. Weinbaum, Murray Leinster, and all the others whose thoughts and works formulated today’s modern science fiction.” — John Carnell, New Worlds

British writer John Russell Fearn was born in Worsley, near Manchester, England, in 1908. As a child he was fascinated by the science fiction of Wells and Verne, and was a voracious reader of the Bovs’ story papers that flourished in England between the wars. His own writing ambitions were born whilst he was still at school, but he did not break into print until 1931, with a series of articles in the Film Weekly. He went on to become a prolific and revered writer within the science fiction genre. With Venture Press he has also written Waters of Eternity, War of the Scientists , and Secret of the Buried City.
