The Lord of Death and the Queen of Life edition by Homer Eon Flint Literature Fiction eBooks

I had never heard of Homer Eon Flint until I read a collection of stories by Edmond Hamilton (a leading SF writer of the 1930s). Hamilton, in his afterword, said that he was first inspired to write science fiction by the stories Flint had written for the Munsey pulps in 1918-19.

This Kindle book is a 'fix-up' of two of those novelettes Flint wrote in 1918-19, about four American scientists who explore Mercury and Venus. The science is, of course, extremely outdated, but Flint at least tried to make his stories plausible according to what was known at the time. (Some of his ideas-- such as a temperate band between the light and dark sides of Mercury-- became staples of magazine science fiction for decades.) More importantly, Flint was a good storyteller; despite its age, this book is quite readable, even today. If you are a fan of Gernsback-era SF, you will enjoy this (even though it was written eight years before Gernsback founded Amazing Stories).

The Lord of Death and the Queen of Life edition by Homer Eon Flint Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

This is marginal space-exploration fantasy adventure from back when they thought Mercury might have air, and Venus surely harbored a more advanced civilization, and when phrenology was an up-and-coming science and Esperanto was futuristic rather than a punchline. The characterizations are super thin. The first one- The Lord of Death is more interesting but there is no real suspense, and most of the action is relayed by flashback. The second one- The Queen of Life is as dull as the Venusians it portrays. In both, our 4 explorers are basically spectators to the action.
Great read!
Reading these tales by Homer Eon Flint is certainly a treasure. Little known as writer, Flint is definitely a science fiction great. His genius was cut short to early in his life.
