Armchair fiction presents large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “Golden Isle” by Roland Ashford Phillips is the 66th installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. What were the secrets of Coffin Island? It all started with a prison escape. No one saw him as Costello made good his daring dash for freedom. No one saw him as he swam to the unusual-looking yacht that lay anchored in nearby waters. But once aboard that yacht, Costello could have almost wished he had remained in his prison cell; because soon his new maritime home was on the way to dangers so great they nearly defied description. For Lloyd Bucknell’s “Nautilus” was no regular yacht—it was submersible! And it was manned by a group of adventurers who soon found themselves in search of a lost, uncharted island world that would greet them with many life-threatening perils. It was an island not found on any map, containing strange mountains, caves, and harbors. It was an island ripe with many undiscovered secrets, some of which promised a fortune in lost treasure, while others promised the threat of a horrifying new brand of super-science!
