Mr. Grant Richards's Recent Novels
M. P. Shiel—continued
THE YELLOW DANGER 3s. 6d
Mr. L. F. Austin in The Illustrated London News: "I sat up half the night with The Yellow Danger, which is no less than the history of the conquest of Europe by the Chinese hordes, whose coming was predicted by the late Professor Pearson."
The Bookman: "Mr. Shiel is a marvellous man. His audacity is splendid. He foretells the future—a ghastly vision. He slaughters not regiments, but races; he blows up not ships, but fleets. He harrows our very souls with prophecies of horror. He has written a remarkable and extraordinary book."
COLD STEEL 6s.
The Daily Chronicle: "A romancer of the first rank, with the romancer's gift of fire and spirit and transfiguring magic . . . the breath of a strong vibrant life animates every page of his picturesque romance. It is impossible to give any idea of the bustling action, the fights, flights and pursuits, the adventures, the jousts, the duellings that fill the book with colour, radiance, and movement."
The Speaker: "Here is the elder Dumas come to life again. . . . Cold Steel is an intoxicating book, It makes you feel alive like a gale at sea, or the first leap of a soaring balloon."
CONTRABAND OF WAR 6s.
The Scotsman: "A book which anyone with the slightest liking for excitement is bound to enjoy, The characters are admirably drawn, and the incidents of the war cleverly manipulated to serve as a background for the personal struggle . . . carries the reader along with it."
The Star: Contraband of War is as breathlessly exciting as The Yellow Danger . . . the book is crammed with fighting and intrigue and sensations which chase each other with the speed of cinematograph films."
