Two classic romances dealing with the struggle between ancient Rome
and Carthage, in the tradition of "Quo Vadis" and "Ben Hur," by a
promising young author whose life was cut short in 1930, when he
was only 37. Sample reviews for "The Figure in the Sand" from 1924:
"'Quo Vadis' has a rival" - San Francisco Bulletin "Mystery,
romance and religion woven into one garment with infinite charm..."
- Duluth Herald "It is an excellent echo of the type of book of
which 'Quo Vadis' is still the shining example." - The New York
Times "Picturesque romance - a combination of 'Quo Vadis, ' 'Ben
Hur' asnd 'Vergilius.' The style is poetic and romantic." -
Colorado Gazette "This book is not only charming, it is exquisite -
full of life and color." - Commercial, Buffalo, NY "Ah Once in a
blue moon a reviewer makes a rich find... The atmosphere is
classic, the plot rarely original, the climax powerfully dramatic."
- New Bedford, Mass. Standard "Although it is the work of a young
author, has much of the power of the masterpieces." - Sacramento
Bee "The story is a thrilling one. It is intensely dramatic, and
the classical as well as the romantic atmosphere give it a special
interest. The author has contributed a very real and vital bit to
literature." - Portland, Maine Evening Express "It has romance,
tragedy, atmosphere and some effective descriptive writing to
recommend it." - Des Moines Capital
