The Romance of Golden Star

By George Griffith

The Romance of Golden Star is a visionary Incan tale by George Griffith. Griffith was a prolific British science fiction writer and noted explorer. Excerpt: "The professor stared wide-eyed at the white pillow on which lay the head of what, a week before, had been his mummy. Now it was the head of a living man; the pale bronze of the skin was clear and moist with the dew of life; the lips were no longer brown and dry, but faintly red and slightly parted, and the counterpane, which was pulled close up under the chin, was slowly rising and falling with the regular rhythm of a sleeper's breathing."
