Echoes from the castle walls

About this book

An integral key to the personality of John Hays Hammond, Jr., lies in his fiction writing. One of America's greatest inventors, Hammond built himself a castle; threw lavish parties; hobnobbed with movies stars, royalty, and world leaders; piloted his own yacht; and at the encouragement of Rudyard Kipling, dabbled in writing fiction. Those sci-fi, horror, and adventure stories were first gathered together in 1999 and two newly discovered stories have been added in this expanded second edition.
