The Monster Men

Men or monsters? What were those thirteen hulking brutes Professor Maxon had created in his laboratory? Soulless, malformed, brainless they were, nevertheless composed of flesh and blood and endowed with the spark of Life. Only Number 13 was the redeeming feature of this grewsome experiment for he was a perfect specimen of a man but he, too, was soulless. Unconsciously he was the cause of the most diabolical plan Professor Maxon had yet concocted—his beautiful daughter Virginia was to marry this monster! Were he in America the mad professor’s plan might have been thwarted but what could a poor girl do, away off in savage Borneo? There is a powerful new character in this book, Bulan the Mighty. You’ll like him. And, as usual, action is the keynote of the story. Pirate Raids, native uprisings, abductions, the savage fights of Maxon’s monsters, forced flights through an unknown jungle country and other strange adventures fill these pages and make this story one of the most hair-raising and thrilling Edgar Rice Burroughs has written.
