Armchair fiction presents extra-large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “A Queen of Atlantis” by Frank Aubrey is the 40th installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. Aubrey, the author of “The Devil Tree of Eldorado,” (Armchair B-79) has ventured again to write a wild and romantic tale of adventure. The gallant little ship Saucy Fan started from Liverpool for Rio de Janeiro, with a party of four lively young people on board. Their crew left them to die in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean, but of course they did not die, or the writer would have had no story to tell. A Robinson Crusoe island loomed in the distance and afforded an excellent field for unlimited adventure. This is a very good romantic tale, full of delightful but impossible situations, and showing a lively imagination on the part of its writer. It is cleverly planned and written in a pleasant style. The reader’s interest is sustained from the start, and the experiences of the passengers of the Saucy Fan are thrilling.
