Queen of the Black Coast – ebook
Robert E. Howard
Hoofs drummed down the street that sloped to the wharfs. The folk that yelled and scattered had only a fleeting glimpse of a mailed figure on a black stallion, a wide scarlet cloak flowing out on the wind. Far up the street came the shout and clatter of pursuit, but the horseman did not look back. He swept out onto the wharfs and jerked the plunging stallion back on its haunches at the very lip of...Data dostępności:

King-of the Khyber Rifles – ebook
Talbot Mundy
King of the Khyber Rifles can definitely be called Mandi’s most famous work. A famous novel in India and in other regions outside of it, he was very successful and two films were filmed on the story of his pages, although they did not have so much fantasy and mysticism as the book. In search of the Hignian caves, the king meets characters such as the princess Yasmini, Ismail, Daria Khan, as well as...Data dostępności:

Jennerton & Co. – ebook
E. Phillips Oppenheim
Impatient of the numerous checks which had held up his car all the way from Croydon, Gerald Jennerton let down the window and looked out. London, he realised at once, was swallowing him up. Not the London upon which he had gazed half an hour ago from his earthward-gliding aeroplane–a huge, tumbled chaos of obscurity, with its far-spreading myriads of lights–but an engulfing wilderness of endless streets,...Data dostępności:

Shirley – ebook
Charlotte Brontë
”Shirley”, the second published novel by Charlotte Bronte, was released in 1849 amongst high anticipations by readers and critics after super success of „Jane Eyre”. Probably, it is the most „suspenseful” novel by Charlotte Bronte. The novel delicately combines classic Gothic motives – motives, relatively speaking, are classically the „detective”. However, under the brilliant pen of Bronte, enthralling...Data dostępności:

The Outlaw – ebook
Max Brand
Young Larry Lynmouth had been the most fabulous outlaw of them all. Now he was determined to go straight. But going straight wasn’t that easy-not with ugly leeches like Jay Cress around, who couldn’t believe any man was fool enough to be honest. Renowned Western writer Max Brand does it again in the eminently enjoyable novel „The Outlaw”. Packed with enough action, twists and turns to please even the...Data dostępności:
