Armchair fiction presents extra-large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “An Aerial Runaway” by W. P and C. P. chipman is the 48th installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. It was an airship ride into a fantastic forgotten land. Having saved two young girls from certain death, Todd Rodman and Rod Todd were the pride and joy of Bayville. They were strapping young cousins from a wealthy family, both with strong upbringings. Though still in their youthful prime, both had an adventurous spirit that was evident to all those around them—and they were inseparable. So when the opportunity came to take a ride aboard Professor Barton’s airship “Halcyon”, both young men jumped at the chance, even taking Rod’s father along with them. However, their joyous ascent into the clouds took a terrifying turn when the ship’s anchor cable was severed. Second by second the wind carried the foursome further and further away. The “Halcyon” drifted endlessly. Then, after a whirlwind of events, they found themselves crashed into a sacred structure hidden in the high mountains of Venezuela. To their astonishment, they were met by members of the long-lost civilization of Antalca—who seemed very curious about their visitors from the sky. Would the four adventurers be greeted as newfound friends…or enemies?
