A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
George Allan England (1877–1936) is mostly remembered these days for his early science-fiction novel, Darkness and Dawn (originally published in Cavalier magazine as three different serials between 1912 and 1913). Set a thousand years in the future, Darkness and Dawn tells the story of a devastated America. Due to its length, it was split into five volumes for paperback publication in the 1960s.
Other works of note include The Air Trust (1915), an anticapitalism novel about a monopoly on air travel; The Golden Blight (1912), about a ray that transmutes gold into ash; The Flying Legion (1920), a near-future (of the time!) tale of the heist of a sacred relic from Mecca; and The Empire of the Air (1914), about an invasion by beings from the fourth dimension.
England, however, was a prolific author in many different genres: adventure, romance, mystery, and science fiction were but a few of his themes, as the stories in this volume attest. Here, then is a fine selection of England’s classic pulp stories, ranging from Darkest Africa to the laboratory, from the perils of speed to the perils of savage cannibals! If you haven’t encountered George Allan England’s work before, you’re in for a treat. And if you’ve already discovered him, chances are high that you’ve never encountered many of these rare tales before.
Enjoy!

ABOUT THE SERIES
Over the last few years, our MEGAPACK™ ebook series has grown to be our most popular endeavor. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”
The MEGAPACK™ ebook series (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This includes John Betancourt (me), Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Shawn Garrett, Helen McGee, Bonner Menking, Colin Azariah-Kribbs, A.E. Warren, and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!)
