World Champion book - Flame Tree Publishing

Another thrilling tale from the master of science fiction. Mysterious events are occurring across America, all sharing one common feature: they seem to involve impossibly fast vehicles. When detective John Strock begins his investigation, he uncovers the secret of Robur, a brilliant yet arrogant man who has invented an astonishing vehicle. It’s incredible that it can transform into a land, sea, or air craft, allowing it to travel so quickly that it becomes invisible. Fearing the divine powers Robur might wield through his machine, which he calls Terror, Strock is determined to stop him at all costs. But Robur is not so easily defeated, and Strock finds himself in a fierce battle for his life and the fate of the world. FLAME TREE 451: From mystery to crime, from supernatural phenomena to horror and fantasy, to science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a diverse diet of werewolves and mechanical men, bloodthirsty vampires, wicked villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations, and escapist fantasies. Discover a magazine of stories collected especially for the science fiction reader. Each book features a brand new biography and a glossary of literary, Gothic, and Victorian terms.
