Armchair fiction presents large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “Immortal Athalia” by Harry F. Haley is the 53rd installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. While prospecting for rubber in the Peruvian lowlands of South America, Wilder MacDonald, soldier-of-fortune and adventure extraordinaire, made a curious discovery—a dying condor. While not an unusual sight in the mountains of Peru, a condor in the lowland swamps was far from its usual haunt. MacDonald discovered that the exhausted condor was the courier of a bizarre message, written in a coded mixture of Indian dialect and ancient Incan languages. Could this be a clue to the location of a lost and unknown civilization said to be paved with silver and gold? Wilder knew but one man who could break the code and unravel the secrets of this mysterious message, a message he hoped would lead him to the location of Lorretto, the last stronghold of the mighty Incas.
