Armchair fiction presents large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. Ganpat’s “The Voice of Dashin” 65th installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. Wandering the mountains of Northern India while on leave from his post in the British Indian Army, Major Louis Kervers would walk right into Providence’s hand. While descending a mountain to Kashmir—quite accidently—he would run into his old chum, Freddie Dutton, and learn of his friend’s extraordinary discovery of a large glacier pass shaped like an upraised hand—a pass that had seemingly never been crossed by civilized man. Furthermore, on the pass’s far side lay an uncharted land. Leaving his coincidental meeting with Freddie Dutton behind, Providence again played her hand when soon Kervers received a message from his childhood sweetheart, Nell Fraser. She had finally discovered a clue regarding her missing brother and niece—they were being held captive beyond a glacier pass shaped like a hand! So with guarded hope, they set out in search of Nell’s lost family into a tangled mass of snowy peaks and ice-filled valleys, without even a map for reference or a native to guide them. And soon they were beset upon by Mother Nature’s fury, mystic prophecies, devil-worshipping usurpers, and the unfathomable power of the ancient omniscient Fairy Dashin.
