A new frontier...In this thrilling follow up to Angus MacVicar’s THE LOST PLANET, we rejoin our narrator Jeremy, his uncle Lachlan, Janet, Spike, Madge and Asa on their return journey to The Lost Planet of Hesikos. Jeremy and his friends must get Asa back to her father before the menacing Herr Schenke comes to steal the Electronome from the Hesikians. The Electronome is a powerful device which can send thoughts to distant places, and with it under his control, Schenke plans to harness its powers for evil, waging war on the entire galaxy.But the people of Hesikos are a peaceful people, and they have neither the weapons nor the malice to take on Schenke and his men. It’s up to Uncle Lachlan and his team to come up with a plan to defeat their enemy, or, at least, to hold them off until Winter comes – in only ten days time. Asa’s father, Solveg, is tempted to give up the Electronome to maintain his people’s peaceful way of life, but doing so would put planet Earth, and his friends, in great danger. Solveg faces the ultimate problem: protect his people, or stand up in resistance to Herr Schenke.Will Uncle Lachlan’s brilliant scientific mind be enough to fend off Schenke’s advances? Or will he and his team have to adopt the peaceful Hesikian way of life to find a solution? SECRET OF THE LOST PLANET is a suspenseful science fiction adventure tale set around the mysterious world of Hesikos. Praise for Angus MacVicar:‘Absorbing science fiction’ Kirkus ReviewsAngus MacVicar was an accomplished Scottish author, screenwriter and playwright who published work in a variety of genres. Earlier in his career he was known for his crime thrillers and autobiography, but his early writing was interrupted by his service as a captain in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, which meant that most of his juvenile science fiction was not published until after World War II. It was then that his ‘Lost Planet’ series became extremely popular, with MacVicar himself adapting the stories as TV and radio serials.

Early traditions speak of the arrival of "radiant beings from heaven," self-sacrificing guardians of the human race who have reincarnated as pivotal figures in the panorama of human history to assist in the work of evolution. Secret Places of the Lion shows how these "great ones" have helped mankind for thousands of years, hiding their secrets in tombs, caverns, temple ruins, and catacombs. Posing as wanderers, they would declare universal wisdom and truth at certain periods of history when people were prepared to receive it; then they would withdraw for a time to see what was done with the new-found knowledge. Thus the rises and plateaus of our cultural history emerged. A classic in the UFO field.
