Book Description
A scientist’s vengeance propels Peter Curzon seven hundred years into the future, where he finds himself in a very mysterious world. Science has banished the need to work in order to earn money, and people only pursue activities as a vocation and by choice. But everyone is also engaged on a Great Task--constructing gigantic towers, with no discernible purpose, following the orders given to them in the temples of Ijax, a mysterious Buddha-like entity worshipped as a god. Peter alone seems immune to the influence of Ijax, and unless he can penetrate to the root of the mystery, mankind appears to be doomed. Another grand sci-fi adventure from the golden age.

Pages : 178
Book Description
Dick opened the door again swiftly, Vera clinging to him--and they were so astounded at what they saw that he forgot for the moment to slam the door shut again. For the phantom was there--clearly visible in the sunlight, which now blazed across the upper half of the great window. A strange, incredible caricature of a being hung in the dusty air, a haze of blurry light surrounding it from the back. There was the pointed tail, the simian ears, the long needle-chinned face, bent arms flexed as though to pounce forward. He seemed to be grinning horribly. Yet he was in mid-air and through him the ancient stone wall could be distinctly seen. This was the ghost--the horror--that everyone knows haunts Sunny Acres Castle, the house that Vera Grantham has just inherited from her late uncle. Together with her boyfriend, Dick Wilmott, she must uncover the secret behind the mansion--a secret worth killing for! A great mystery in the classic British tradition.
