Armchair fiction presents extra-large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “The Cave of a Thousand Columns” by T. E. Grattan-Smith is the 39th installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. "Beware when the mountain shakes!" was the dire warning old chief Bal-yari uttered as he handed Major Rogers a mystic token of his tribe. Engraved on the token were aboriginal signs and symbols explaining the mysteries of vast underground caverns. Within this uncharted, seemingly endless maze lurked wild, weird, and wonderful denizens of an unknown world—a lost, primitive civilization, forgotten by the surface world. So armed with this cryptic information, Major Rogers and his two companions, Ned and Jim, began their expedition into the marvelous caverns and lakes underneath the mighty mountain, and in their search they encountered a myriad of fantastic events and strange creatures, all leading to the discovery of the “Cave of a Thousand Columns.” It’s a vividly entertaining lost world-lost race science fiction tale, filled with mystery and adventure.
