Summary : The finest tale ever written of fabled Atlantis, The Lost Continent is a sweeping, fiery saga of the last days of the doomed land. Atlantis, at the height of its power and glory, is without equal. It has established far-flung colonies in Egypt and Central America, and its mighty navies patrol the seas. The priests of Atlantis channel the elemental powers of the universe, and a powerful monarch rules from a staggeringly beautiful city of pyramids and shining temples clustered around a sacred mountain. Mighty Atlantis is also decaying and corrupt. Its people are growing soft and decadent, and many live in squalor. Rebellion is in the air, and prophecies of doom ring forth. Into this epic drama of the end of time stride two memorable characters: the warrior-priest Deucalion, stern, just, and loyal, and the Empress Phorenice, brilliant, ambitious, and passionate. The old and new Atlantis collide in a titanic showdown between Deucalion and Phorenice, a struggle that soon affects the destiny of an entire civilization.

Summary : What could it mean? I had left Alvarez in command. He was my most loyal subordinate. Itwas absolutely beyond the pale of possibility that Alvarez should desert me. No, there was someother explanation. Something occurred to place my second officer, Porfirio Johnson, incommand. I was sure of it but why speculate? The futility of conjecture was only too palpable.The Coldwater had abandoned us in midocean. Doubtless none of us would survive to knowwhy.The young man at the wheel of the power boat had turned her nose about as it becameevident that the ship intended passing over us, and now he still held her in futile pursuit of theColdwater."Bring her about, Snider," I directed, "and hold her due east. We can't catch the Coldwater, and we can't cross the Atlantic in this. Our only hope lies in making the nearest land, which, unless I am mistaken, is the Scilly Islands, off the southwest coast of England. Ever heard ofEngland, Snider?""There's a part of the United States of North America that used to be known to the ancientsas New England," he replied. "Is that where you mean, sir?""No, Snider," I replied. "The England I refer to was an island off the continent of Europe. Itwas the seat of a very powerful kingdom that flourished over two hundred years ago. A part ofthe United States of North America and all of the Federated States of Canada once belonged tothis ancient England.""Europe," breathed one of the men, his voice tense with excitement. "My grandfather used totell me stories of the world beyond thirty. He had been a great student, and he had read muchfrom forbidden books.""In which I resemble your grandfather," I said, "for I, too, have read more even than navalofficers are supposed to read, and, as you men know, we are permitted a greater latitude in thestudy of geography and history than men of other professions."Among the books and papers of Admiral Porter Turck, who lived two hundred years ago, and from whom I am descended, many volumes still exist, and are in my possession, which dealwith the history and geography of ancient Europe. Usually I bring several of these books with meupon a cruise, and this time, among others, I have maps of Europe and her surrounding waters. Iwas studying them as we came away from the Coldwater this morning, and luckily I have themwith me.""You are going to try to make Europe, sir?" asked Taylor, the young man who had lastspok

Summary : The Lost Continent, initially published as a serial in 1899, remains one of the enduring classics of the “lost race” genre. In it we follow Deucalion, a warrior-priest on the lost continent of Atlantis, as he tries to battle the influence of an egotistical upstart empress. Featuring magic, intrigue, mythical monsters, and fearsome combat on both land and sea, the story is nothing if not a swashbuckling adventure. The Lost Continent was very influential on pulp fiction of the subsequent decades, and echoes of its style can be found in the work of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, and others.
