The Mystic Brand

The Far West town of Hocus Pocus is under siege! No stagecoach or wagon train has entered the town since the despicable Black Bill, the bloodthirsty and murderous road agent, set his sights on plundering the unfortunate travelers who cross his path. As if that wasn't enough, an invisible angel of death prowls the hills, leaving naught in his wake but corpses with a mystic brand burned on their foreheads!The desperate townspeople have appealed for help to the single man on Earth who might yet save them, the world's greatest inventor, Frank Reade Junior. But even if his miraculous land ironclad could overcome the endless army of bandits, what hope does the handiwork of man have against the implacable spirit of death himself?The Cuban-American Jules Verne, Luis Senarens, takes us on another startling adventure in this classic 1893 science fiction tale!
