A Son of Mars
Paperback
(Forgotten Books July 14, 2017)
Excerpt from A Son of Mars
After the boom of that first signal gun, shot and shell are fairly rained upon the devoted fortress where the mutineers have taken up their quarters.
The walls of the palace offer little or no resist ance to the metal globes that, propelled with all the force and science known to modern gunnery, crash through stone wall and casement, rip up floors, demolish the pillars surrounding the court, and promise to make a gigantic pepper-box or sieve out of the building where the despotic rulers of East Africa have held sway for a period stretching far back into the dim past.
The scene 9. Little later is one that would delight the eye of a warrior who longed to scent the smoke of battle.
