Books with title The Velvet Glove

Despite the Robot Equality Act, being a robot is tough. Jon Venex, a robot designed for work on Venus, needed a job bad or it could mean the scrap heap. When he found a job listing for Venex robot, it sounded too good to be true. And when you're a second-class citizen, like a robot, it usually is. He soon finds himself embroiled in a scheme with underground crime—literally and figuratively!

Hugh Stowell Scott (1862-1903) was an English novelist (under the pseudonym of Henry Seton Merriman). He was an underwriter in Lloyd's, but having a strong literary bent, latterly devoted himself to writing novels, many of which had great popularity. He worked with great care, and his best books hold a high place in modern fiction. He was unusually modest and retiring in character. His works include Young Mistley (1888), Suspense (1890), Prisoners and Captives (1891), The Slave of the Lamp (1892), From One Generation to Another (1892), With Edged Tools (1894), The Sowers (generally considered his best) (1896), In Kedar's Tents (1897), The Grey Lady (1897), Roden's Corner (1898), Dross (1899), Isle of Unrest (1900), The Velvet Glove (1901), The Vultures (1902), From Wisdom Court (1903), Barlasch of the Guard (1903), The Last Hope (1904), and Tomaso's Fortune and Other Stories (1904).
