Armchair fiction presents large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “The Maracot Deep” by Arthur Conan Coyle is the 60th installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series, coming complete with over two dozen original illustrations and graphics. It was a trip into the unknown they would never forget. A world famous scientist named Maracot, along with a young research zoologist and an American engineer, descended by bathyscope into the murky depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Down into this silent world they ventured. But what started as a thrilling adventure soon turned into a swirling nightmare of terror. Rising from the black abyss to meet them was a horror that the eyes of surface men had never before seen—the dreaded Marax, a fierce crustacean giant that knew no fear of any living creature. In a jarring undersea battle, the Marax severed the explorers’ lifelines causing their bathyscope to plunge down, down, down…and then… At their last gasp they were saved! But what fate now awaited them? Their rescuers would soon offer their “guest-prisoners” a taste of the desperate, dangerous life of their strange undersea world. For lying in the seabed beneath was that legendary metropolis of old, the lost city of Atlantis.
