During the bloody Dutch-Aceh War in Sumatra at the end of the 19th
century, 10-year-old George Villiers is about to be sacrificed by a
Malay witch doctor when he is rescued by To-Ho, the member of a
peaceful tribe of ape-men who secretly live hidden in the jungle.
George is then raised among the ape-men, and meets a reclusive
scientist who has developed a compound, phoebium, which destroys
gold, hoping to save the tribe from hordes of invading prospectors
who threaten their isolation... Jules Lermina's To-Ho and the Gold
Destroyers was first published in 1905 in Le Journal des Voyages.
Its tribe of ape-men and the story of the human boy which they
rescue and raise as their own predate Tarzan by seven years. This
volume also includes over 20 original illustrations by Charles
Clrice. Georges Dodds is the author of The Ape-Man his Kith and
Kin, a collection of texts which prepared the advent of Tarzan of
the Apes.

Jules Lermina (1839-1915), the author of Mysteryville, Panic in
Paris and To-Ho and the Gold Destroyers, was one of the most
interesting authors of French romans scientifiques in the latter
part of the 19th century. This collection includes The Nail (1870),
featuring a prodigious detective predating Sherlock Holmes by 20
years, the classic Burn This (1888), a novella in the vein of
Bulwer-Lytton and Talbot Mundy, in which a young Parisian gifted
with superhuman mental powers encounters a mysterious Hindu secret
society that has inherited the occult science of ancient Atlantis,
and the eponymous novella (1893), in which young Conrad Zippelius
receives a letter about a mysterious inheritance from a distant
relative, one that comes with a secret that could destroy the world

Driven from China by the Boxers, explorer Alcide Trmalet chances
upon a secret futuristic city created in the 18th century by French
Protestants fleeing persecution. This New Paris, or "Mysteryville,"
has mastered the use of sound and light. But will his arrival
trigger a civil war with those who seek to rejoin, and perhaps
conquer, the outside world and those who wish to preserve their
isolation? Mysteryville (1905) is one of Jules Lermina's most
original novels. This book also includes his macabre classic story
Twice Dead (1895). Brian M. Stableford has been a professional
writer since 1965. He has published more than 60 science fiction
and fantasy novels, as well as several authoritative non-fiction
books.
It all begins innocently enough when the corpse of a London boxer
is discovered at sunrise on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. But
the man was reportedly seen in London only a couple of hours
earlier... A great English detective and France's leading
investigative reporter team up to solve a baffling mystery that
will ultimately take them to a network of vast caverns under Paris
inhabited by prehistoric monsters, waiting to be released... Jules
Lermina's Panic in Paris (1910) combines the tradition of utopian
fiction with both the scientific advances of the 19th century and
the pseudoscientific trappings of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming
Race (1871). It also features some intriguing anticipations of two
key works by Arthur Conan Doyle, prefiguring both The Lost World
(1912) and The Poison Belt (1913).
