A thrilling "Lost World" adventure from Dennis Wheatley, one of Britain's most popular thriller writers.

Combining maritime adventure with exotic mystery and suspense, this classic 1938 novel showcases Wheatley's talent for gripping storytelling beyond his famous occult thrillers. The book was later adapted into the 1968 Hammer film "The Lost Continent".
