A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For the first time in ebook! Everything is about to change...

The 1960s. 20 years have passed in peace and prosperity since the end of World War II and the dreadful terror of the Golden Amazon – a superhuman woman genetically engineered to be the most powerful being on the planet. Chris Wilson, the Chief of Staff for World Airways, is about to receive a proposal that will change travel forever – a ship that can journey into space. Harnessing the atomic power the Golden Amazon left behind, these new space-ready vehicles would be a great asset to World Airways and to mankind. However, Professor Dodd is captured on the way to the airfield. Kidnapped by German Nazi sympathizers hoping to regain control of Europe, they torture Professor Dodd to get him to reveal the secrets of space flight – and upon doing so, kill him. But soon, a tall, mysterious, powerful woman appears and takes revenge... A mystery unravels, as Chris Wilson begins to put the pieces of this horrifying set of circumstances together. Has the Golden Amazon somehow survived? And does she have the power to save mankind from itself? The Golden Amazon Returns is a gripping science fiction novel, the second in the Original Golden Amazon series by John Russell Fearn. For the first time in ebook, you can now read these fantastic stories of post-war dystopia and transfixing wonder.

Praise for John Russell Fearn:

“... 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 John Russell Fearn was an extremely prolific and popular British writer, who began in the American pulps, then almost single-handedly drove the post-World War II boom in British publishing with a flood of science fiction, detective stories, westerns, and adventure fiction. He was so popular that one of his pseudonyms became the editor of Vargo Statten’s Science Fiction Magazine in the 1950’s. His work is noted for its vigor and wild imagination. He has always had a substantial cult following and has been popular in translation around the world.

A world in ruins… And one woman to save them… Sick of World War II and what it has cost everyone, one scientist has conceived of a plan to craft the perfect person, a woman who can rule the world without devolving into the madness of men. Dr James Axton has created a revolutionary scientific process of altering the glands and the chemicals they produce to create a human stronger, smarter, and better than nature had ever tintended. But there is one problem: he needs a subject – a young female child, the genesis for a new age. After a nearby bombing orphans dozens of children, the child, Violet Ray, becomes his best hope for this daring experiment. As Violet grows, it becomes clear that human compassion and emotion are foreign to her. She openly admits to her quest for power, because power is the only way that things get done. Her brain takes care of science and discovery and her brawn physical needs, but power is how she will ‘help’ society. Now, the Golden Amazon will rise. But will the Golden Amazon use her power for good? Or will the world fall foul to her violent and harsh measures? Only one thing is clear: the Earth is running out of time… The Golden Amazon is a gripping science fiction novel, the first in the Original Golden Amazon series by John Russell Fearn.
