When a group of scientific adventurers are swallowed up by the Hollow Earth below, this submarine arctic expedition discovers more than it could have ever hoped. Happening upon ghastly beasts and unfriendly foes within a lost underworld, prehistoric animals soon reveal new wonders of scientific discovery with no mercy. But when the group later discover a race of vicious wolf-men and the remnants of an ancient civilisation, they must now question life on earth as we know it. Not just the beginning of our civilisation - but the dawn of the end itself. Weaving a rip-roaring tale of adventure, discovery and fright, Frank Powell's `The Wolf-Men' is said to be one of the first science-fiction books about lost worlds and lost races. Crafting an unmissable journey into a new world, 'The Wolf-Men' is the ideal adventure for fans of `Avatar', 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', and 'Jurassic Park'. Frank Powell (1845-1906) was an American author, celebrated for his widely successful science-fiction novel `The Wolf-Men'. Credited today as one of the first science-fiction books about lost world's and lost races, Powell kick-started a genre of fiction that would deep dive into imaginative, and often frightening, worlds. Powell was also an influential figure in the literary creation `Buffalo Bill'. Whilst it is not entirely clear whether this series was published by Powell himself or Colonel Prentiss Ingraham (1942-1904), readers of Powell can expect a journey like no other, full of wonder and might throughout.
