    About this ebook

    Ikey Hole began to engage in his own business at the age of sixteen as an industrial climber, and when he was twenty, he was already a serious master of his profession. But since at that time in New York signboards began to go out of fashion, he began to master the specialty in the manufacture of firearms, because he was far-sighted and moved with time and progress.

    Talbot Mundy

    Born in London in 1879, Talbot Mundy (1879-1940) was an American based author popular in the adventure fiction genre. Mundy was a well-traveled man, residing in multiple different countries in his lifetime. After being raised in London, Mundy first moved to British India, where he worked as a reporter. Then, he switched professions, moving to East Africa to become an ivory poacher. Finally, in 1909, Mundy moved to New York, where he began his literary career. First publishing short stories, Mundy became known for writing tales based on places that he traveled. After becoming an American citizen, Mundy joined the Christian science religious movement, which prompted him to move to Jerusalem. There he founded and established the first newspaper in the city to be published primarily in the English language. By the time of his death in 1940, Mundy had rose to fame as a best-selling author, and left behind a prolific legacy that influenced the work of many other notable writers.
