Armchair fiction presents extra-large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “When the Earth Swung Over” by Alfred Colbeck is the 47th installment of our “Lost World-Lost Race Classics” series. It was a danger-filled rescue mission! After Billy Wedge’s arrival at Thorswick Manor, he recounted how he and his shipwrecked companions had been captured by a lost South American race of red-haired devils. Billy, who was the only one to escape, had miraculously made it back to civilization. Marcus Evered, the master of Thorswick Manor and head of the Evered Family, was determined to rescue his still-captive nephew and the rest of the marooned crew from the clutches of these savages. So soon Marcus’s small rescue party braved the vicious terrain in the mountains of South America. They weathered fierce drenching storms, smoldering heat waves, and glacial freezes. But battling the harsh elements was the least of their worries, for Evered and his party would soon come face to face with the fiendish leaders of a strange, forgotten civilization—leaders who thought human sacrifice was an appropriate way to welcome visitors.
