ATLANTIS RISING by Brad Steiger







Steiger zooms about on a whirlwind tour gathering all manner of weird things into the Atlantis Mythos, including the Shaver Mystery, Hollow Earth, and that old scamp Springheel Jack! Some wild fun, but like many of the cheaper paperbacks it would have benefited from some illustrations and/or maps.


And a lovely painted cover from Sphere Books, 1976.

Dell Publishing, 1973
