The Citadel of Fear (1918) is a science fiction novel by Francis
Stevens. Using her well-known pseudonym, Gertrude Barrows Bennett
published some of the twentieth century's greatest science fiction
stories and novels. The Citadel of Fear, her debut novel, has been
recognized as a powerful tale of the lost world genre of adventure
and remains central to Stevens' reputation as a pioneering author
of fantasy and science fiction. As the Great War rages on, two
Irish American prospectors journey across the Mexican desert in
search of fortune. Lucky to survive the heat and harsh conditions,
they discover a dense jungle rumored to be the home of a lost tribe
of Aztecs devoted to the serpent god Quetzalcoatl. Despite their
fears, Kennedy and Colin O'Hara remain determined to complete their
mission, no matter the cost. Venturing through the darkness of the
jungle, they find the underground city of Tlapallam, where a group
of assailants takes Kennedy prisoner. Left to return alone through
the desert, O'Hara vows to return for his friend. Published at the
height of Stevens' career as a popular storyteller in the nation's
leading fantasy magazines, The Citadel of Fear is a lost world
novel in the tradition of H. Rider Haggard and Edgar Rice Burroughs
that continues to entertain and astound over a century after it
appeared in print. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Francis Stevens'
The Citadel of Fear is a classic work of American science fiction
reimagined for modern readers.
