• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"To those who have followed the Radio Detectives through their previous adventures the group upon the crippled destroyer's decks will need no introduction. There was the trim, spick-and-span Commander Disbrow, the deep-sea diver, Rawlins, Mr. Pauling and his friend Mr. Henderson and the two boys, Tom Pauling and his chum Frank. But for the benefit of those who now meet the Radio Detectives for the first time a few words of explanation will be needed. Months before the story opens, Tom Pauling and Frank had discovered a most astounding plot by means of their radio telephones and thereby enabled Tom's father and his associate, Mr. Henderson, who were federal officers in the Secret Service, to make prisoners of a number of members of an international gang of scoundrels whose activities included the distribution of Bolshevist literature, the destruction of property, smuggling contraband liquor into the United States and conducting a widespread series of holdups, robberies and other crimes."

Autorenporträt

Alpheus Hyatt Verrill was an American writer, zoologist, illustrator, explorer, and inventor whose career bridged both scientific inquiry and imaginative storytelling. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, he was the son of Addison Emery Verrill, the first professor of zoology at Yale University, which deeply influenced his lifelong passion for natural history. Verrill became widely known for his prolific authorship, producing an extensive body of work ranging from detailed guides on minerals, insects, and ancient civilizations to speculative fiction exploring futuristic technologies and lost worlds. His background in science lent credibility to his writings, allowing him to blend factual detail with adventure in a style that appealed to both children and adults. As an illustrator, he contributed artwork to scientific and literary publications, further demonstrating his multidisciplinary talents. Though best remembered for his science fiction and juvenile adventure novels, Verrill also made meaningful contributions to educational literature. His legacy remains one of curiosity, broad knowledge, and a deep interest in bridging scientific observation with creative imagination.
