The groundbreaking novella that gave rise to science fiction’s original space hero, Buck Rogers. In 1927, World War I veteran Anthony Rogers is working for the American Radioactive Gas Corporation investigating strange phenomena in an abandoned coal mine when suddenly there’s a cave-in. Trapped in the mine and surrounded by radioactive gas, Rogers falls into a state of suspended animation . . . for nearly five hundred years. Waking in the year 2419, he first saves the beautiful Wilma Deering from attack and then discovers what has befallen his country: The United States has descended into chaos after Asian powers conquered the world with advanced weaponry centuries before. All that’s left are ragtag gangs battling for survival against their brutal overlords. But when Rogers shows them how to band together and fight for more than mere survival, he sparks a revolution that will decide the fate of the future world. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Set in the early part of the 20th Century, "The Girl from Nowhere" takes us on a gripping ride through criminal and legal circles in New York City. Catching the attention of Scott Duvenney, who is one of New York's leading criminal defense attorneys, the beautiful Edna Raalhof appears from nowhere. Scott Duvenney is determined to win her attention and then her affection. Treating her kindly, he cannot give the credit to his manners, but rather to his attraction. She was by no means the first woman in his life to accept or reject his advances. Because she was a tough "read," he chose to read her attitude toward him positively. Little does he know Edna Raalhof, an adventuress, seems to have an inexplicable purpose of her own, which only intrigues Scott Duvenney even more. Where did she come from? Why is she here? What are her plans? Will she discover his true dealings? Is she in cahoots with "Wildcat" Casey, a secret agent who was mystifying to both police and underworld circles - and even Scott Duvenney?

If the name Phil Nowlan is not well-known today, it is because it has been eclipsed by that of his most famous creation, Buck Rogers. Buck began life as Anthony Rogers, in Nowlan's first published story, Armageddon 2419 AD., and its sequel, Airlords of Han, quickly became a phenomenon that popularized science fiction in the first half of the twentieth century in the same way that Star Trek and Star Wars popularized it in the second half. But until now, Nowlan's other science fiction stories have been forgotten in the wake of Buck's immense popularity. Collected here with the original Anthony Rogers stories are The Time Jumpers, The Onslaught from Venus, The Prince of Mars Returns, and Space Guards.
