Description
This is the second printing of the second in Guy Boothby’s Dr. Nikola series. Pictured on the cover by artist Stanley L. Wood with his ever-present cat Apollyon (named after a dark angel), Dr. Nikola was an anti-hero whose goal was ever-lasting life. Boothby was from a prominent Australian family and wrote over fifty novels, even though he died of influenza at the young age of thirty-eight in 1905.
