The Box from Japan

Harry Stephen Keeler

Mystery & Thrillers / Science Fiction & Fantasy / Short Stories

At the time of its publication, 1932, this was the longest mystery ever written. Would you believe, 313,000 words — many of them in a strange Hispano-German dialect. It's a simple story about world war in 1942 between an alliance between Germany, Japan, and Mexico against the US and the rest of the world. 3D TV figures prominently, as well as a cactus that proves to be the world's most perfect food source. A remarkable novel, far ahead of its time!

Enormous in breadth and scope, Wolfe's ambitious new work opens out into a world of wonders, of gods and humans, aliens and machines, and mysterious adventures far out in space and deep inside the human spirit.

Life on the Whorl, and the struggles and triumphs of Patera Silk to satisfy the demands of the gods, will captivate readers yearning for something new and different in science fiction, for the magic of the future. At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
