Books by Guy Boothby

Bókin er að mestu leyti þekkt fyrir að kynna til sögunnar glæpaheilann og dulhyggjumanninn Doktor Nikola og langri leit hans að ódauðleika, en Nikola kom meira fyrir í framhaldsbókum eftir sama höfund og varð áhrifarík sögupersóna í heimi spæjarasagna. Richard Hatteras er aðalhetja sögunnar en hann dregst fljótt inn í hættulega atburðarás þegar hann kynnist illmenninu Doktor Nikola og fylgdarliði hans.Guy Boothby (1867-1905) var ástralskur höfundur sem ferðaðist víða um Suðaustur Asíu, Melanesíu og Ástralíu. Hann hóf ferilinnn á því að skrifa ferðasögur en við tóku sögur um alls konar glæpasnillinga, múmíur, álög, uppvakninga og þess háttar. Hann var vinur Rudyard Kipling og var í góðu áliti hjá George Orwell. Boothby lést aðeins 38 ára að aldri en verk hans hafa haft mikil áhrif á heim kvikmyndanna, sér í lagi á ímynd illmenna og óvætta.

Reginald Sandridge er ungur, enskur maður af aðalsættum. Hann á að erfa frænda sinn, greifann af Weldsham, en atburðarás sem enginn hefði getað séð fyrir gerir það að verkum að greifinn hótar að gera hann svo gott sem arflausan. Ekkjan frú Dartrell virðist vera mjög auðug, en um hana ganga ýmsir orðrómar sem ekki er auðvelt að staðfesta. Hún hefur augastað á Reginald, en er hún öll þar sem hún er séð?Guy Newell Boothby fæddist árið 1867 í Adelaide í Ástralíu. Hann var sonur ástralsks stjórnmálamanns og ferðaðist um Ástralíu þvera og endilanga sem ungur maður, en flutti til Englands eftir að hann gifti sig og gerðist rithöfundur. Einn af lærifeðrum hans í ritlistinni var enginn annar en hinn víðfrægi breski rithöfundur Rudyard Kipling. Eftir Boothby liggur mikill fjöldi spennusagna, sem gerast nær allar í Ástralíu. Guy Boothby lést skyndilega úr lungnabólgu árið 1905 og skildi eftir sig konu, þrjú börn og yfir 50 skáldsögur.

Pharos is a very old Egyptian, at least ninety-years old, extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian antiquities. He meets Sir William Betford, a peer living in England, who owns an extensive collection of Egyptian antiquities collected earlier by his father, an historian and archeologist who focused on ancient Egypt. The meeting was contrived by Pharos because he wanted to retrieve a mummy he had been searching for a long time, which is now in Betford's collection. Pharos manages to lure Sir Betford into his sphere of influence, and eventually persuades Englishman to accompany him on a trip to Egypt, where it turns out that Pharos is not who he seems to be.
