Russell Standish's Books

Reprint of the original, first published in 1866.

When Milly Morton, confidential secretary to industrialist Mortimer Bland, deliberately smashes several astronomical plates created by Anton Drew, she does more than express her pique against Bland's Chief Scientist. She also destroys irreplaceable data that might have enabled Drew to convince a skeptical world that it needs to prepare for the coming cosmic disaster. Without proof, no government official takes Drew's theories seriously. And so the world continues on its way, living in a Fool's Paradise. The signs of approaching doom soon become evident--with unprecedented thunderstorms, the huge growth of unbridled vegetation, and the appearance of giant insects. By the time Drew, aided by friends Ken and Thayleen West, is finally able to convince the Prime Minister of the danger, it looks as if it might be too late. Can ANYTHING save the Earth and its precious human cargo?

This classic, scholarly history of the fur trappers and traders of the early nineteenth century focuses on the devices that enabled the opening of the untracked American west. Sprinkled with interesting facts and old western lore, this guide to traps and tools is also a lively history. The era of the mountain man is distinct in American history, and Russell’s exhaustive coverage on the guns, traps, knives, axes, and other iron tools of this era, along with meticulous appendices, is astonishing. The result of thirty-five years of painstaking research, this is the definitive guide to the tools of the mountain men.

Despite being the cleverest man on Earth, Jonas Glebe becomes the unwitting tool of a baleful intelligence. He hopes that his new invention, the G-Bomb, will bring riches to himself and his daughter Margaret--but instead, it brings death, and a deadly threat to mankind. Val Turner knows the danger, but he is imprisoned, having been framed for Margaret’s murder. When Val’s eventually released, he’s too late to prevent the cataclysm that has engulfed the world. But fate intervenes: he saves a strange little man from drowning, and thereby changes the destiny of the world....
