Book Description
The penultimate chapter in the thrilling Pulp Heroes trilogy of novels, Sanctuary Falls is the epic conclusion of an extraordinary series of adventures spanning two centuries in time and linking the incredible lives of history's most popular Victorian Age adventurers of the 1800's with the greatest action heroes of the Pulp Era and an assortment of well-known, real-life figures. Two generations of heroes, one incredible destiny. An extraterrestrial warning, originating from beyond the infinite gulf of space and time, is brought to the attention of Earth's greatest pulp heroes, predicting the annihilation of the Earth. Even worse, if it cannot be prevented, this tremendous wave of armageddon will expand beyond the solar system, encompassing the entire Multiverse; consisting of more than a hundred billion worlds. While investigating the interstellar menace, the fellowship of Mystery Men (Doc Titan, Darkness, Scorpion, and Guardian) band together for the final time and, along the way, unearth a succession of incredibly complex government secrets, interwoven with subterfuge, both foreign and domestic. Sanctuary Falls weaves an incredible tapestry, perfectly integrating dozens of outwardly random events, involving UFO's, the 1908 Tunguska Event, the Cold War, Time Travel, CIA & KGB, covert military operations, Area 51, Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower, missing ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle, Nazis in Antarctica, and much, much more. Although Pulp Heroes - Sanctuary Falls is the final chapter of this massive three-part trilogy, Pulp Heroes - Khan Dynasty and Pulp Heroes - More Than Mortal chronicle the earlier eras of the Mystery Men. Each of the novels a self-contained story, painted in bold, sweeping strokes.

Book Description
Pulp History brings to life extraordinary feats of bravery, violence, and redemption that history has forgotten. These stories are so dramatic and thrilling they have to be true. In DEVIL DOG, the most decorated Marine in history fights for America across the globe—and returns home to set his country straight. Smedley Butler took a Chinese bullet to the chest at age eighteen, but that did not stop him from running down rebels in Nicaragua and Haiti, or from saving the lives of his men in France. But when he learned that America was trading the blood of Marines to make Wall Street fat cats even fatter, Butler went on a crusade. He threw the gangsters out of Philadelphia, faced down Herbert Hoover to help veterans, and blew the lid off a plot to overthrow FDR.

When he finds out that a secret society in Tibet is way more powerful than any other human being or government on the planet, he decides to set off on a long adventure. This society can teach Nikola how to extend life and raise the dead. But are they willing to share their knowledge? Can Doctor Nikola somehow force them to do so? Find out in "Dr Nikola Returns". Guy Boothby was an Australian author who lived in the period 1867-1905.

Other popular stories by him are "A Prince of Swindlers", which tells the story of a thief, and "Uncle Joe's Legacy and Other Stories", which is a collection of ghost stories. All in all, Guy Boothby left the world a colourful and rich literary legacy.

Book Description
"You ain't gonna like what I have to tell you, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. See, my name is Karen Memery, like memory only spelt with an e, and I'm one of the girls what works in the Hôtel Mon Cherie on Amity Street. Hôtel has a little hat over the o like that. It's French, so Beatrice tells me." Set in the late 19th century—when the city we now call Seattle Underground was the whole town (and still on the surface), when airships plied the trade routes, would-be gold miners were heading to the gold fields of Alaska, and steam-powered mechanicals stalked the waterfront, Karen is a young woman on her own, is making the best of her orphaned state by working in Madame Damnable's high-quality bordello. Through Karen's eyes we get to know the other girls in the house—a resourceful group—and the poor and the powerful of the town. Trouble erupts one night when a badly injured girl arrives at their door, beggin sanctuary, followed by the man who holds her indenture, and who has a machine that can take over anyone's mind and control their actions. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the next night brings a body dumped in their rubbish heap—a streetwalker who has been brutally murdered. Bear brings alive this Jack-the-Ripper yarn of the old west with a light touch in Karen's own memorable voice, and a mesmerizing evocation of classic steam-powered science.
