The Crimson Peril

Description

Perhaps half a light-year away, there was a star — the most curious star ever encountered. It pulsed with a dull red hue, behaving like a living entity, contradicting the nature of any known star. For a long time, the Crusaders observed it, transfixed. Then, Viona's expression transformed into one of mystification. "What is it, anyway?" she asked. "Obviously, it's a sun of some dull red color, since all stars are essentially suns... but what causes it to behave in such a manner? Fluctuating between the first and tenth magnitude, pulsating like a living heart..." "For such mysteries as this, we traverse the void," the Amazon replied with a smile. Then, without another word, she rose and crossed over to the control board. With adept manipulation of the switches, the vast nose of the Ultra slowly pivoted in the depths until it was aimed directly at the pulsating enigma... THE CRIMSON PERIL is the 23rd installment in the ongoing saga of John Russell Fearn's most renowned science fiction heroine, the Golden Amazon. Crafted by the legendary JOHN GLASBY, this original novel perpetuates the adventures of the Amazon and her fellow Cosmic Crusaders as they explore one of the strangest and most perilous solar systems in the galaxy!
