Today we will cover the sole novel of Hungarian born Canadian Pastor E. F. Molnar, his strange story of a highly advanced, ancient Sumerian civilization, and the horrible danger posed to all of humanity by the immortal mad genious Satun, in his quest to find his beloved Ishtar again among the living.

Oh man... This thing reads like Cutcliffe Hyne’s “The Lost Continent” on bad acid. Ow. Maybe you should read “The Lost Continent” for mental relief. It a good fantasy. At least I enjoy it.

I have wanted to read some Hyne before.

“The Lost Continent” and the short story “The Lizard” are available on KZbin in audio versions. Hyne, a contemporary of Conan Doyle, was famous for his popular Captain Kettle stories. Unfortunately, they aren’t likely to be revived. As L. Sprague de Camp related, Hyne’s stories were “...informed with the most offensive ruling-class, master-race snobbery that one can imagine. They all can be summed up as “Watch the brave British lad, punch, kick, stab, shoot, or otherwise dispose of all the dirty Italians, Negros, Chinese, Jews, Germans, Yanks, and other foreign vermin.” At least “the Lost Continent” and “The Lizard” are free of this rancid prejudice.

“The Lost Continent” and the short story “The Lizard” are on KZbin as audiobooks. Hyne, a contemporary of Conan Doyle , was a successful author best known for his popular Captain Kettle stories. Unfortunately, it's now unlikely those stories will ever be revived. As L. Sprague de Camp related in his introduction to the 1974 Train reprint of “The Lost Continent”. Hyne’s stories “...are informed with the most offensive ruling-class, master-race snobbery that one can imagine. They can all be summed up as ‘Watch the brave British lad punch, kick, stab, shoot, or otherwise dispose of all the dirty Italians, Africans, Chinese, Jews, Germans, Yanks, and other foreign vermin.’ (At least, Hyne was impartial in his xenophobia, viewing all foreigners with equal hatred and contempt.)” “The Lost Continent” and “The Lizard” are free of Hyne’s revolting prejudices, and are enjoyable to read (or listen to, depending). I recomend them.@@WeirdWonderful
