Description
"The atom war destroyed the world in which beings of your type existed. Continents went under the waves; radioactive force was everywhere. There were survivors on mountain tops and islands, but they too had changed... "
Jacob Mastervil controlled the world through money. His iron grip around the world was ruled by a cold, disinterested view of humanity, no love for any fellow human, and no seeming moral compass. Bruce Calthorp, the man's secretary, is increasingly uneasy at Mastervil's moves. However, standing up to Mastervil leads to peril...
The Man Who Sold the Earth is a collection of short science fiction stories by the masterful John Russell Fearn.
Praise for John Russell Fearn:
'... A pioneer of science fiction [... ] he was one of the Greats of the earlier ages, and his name should be there with Hugo Gernsback, John W. Campbell, Stanley G. Weinbaum, Murray Leinster, and all the others whose thoughts and works formulated today's modern science fiction' -- John Carnell, New Worlds
John Russell Fearn was an extremely prolific and popular British writer, who began in the American pulps, then almost single-handedly drove the post-World War II boom in British publishing with a flood of science fiction, detective stories, westerns, and adventure fiction. He was so popular that one of his pseudonyms became the editor of Vargo Statten's Science Fiction Magazine in the 1950's.
