A scientifically-precipitated, out-of-control tale of evolution set in Antarctica it predates Lovecraft s At the Mountains of Madness by a mathematician of note who also wrote science fiction. In The Greatest Adventure, an expedition to Antarctica discovers remnants of an elder race with advanced technology. These ancients had discovered the secret of developing new life-forms but when the mutations threatened to run amok, their creators entombed their entire civilization in ice. Intrepid aviatrix Edith Lane and her comrades must flee through caverns inhabited by the mutated monsters and when frozen spores begin to thaw out, the planet is threatened by malign plant life! A tale of horror by John Taine the pseudonym of mathematician Eric Temple Bell that is not without moments of humor.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"What makes the Radium Age series so valuable is how it illuminates the origins of science fiction tropes we take for granted. The Greatest Adventure reveals the literary DNA of Lovecraft's cosmic horror."—Boing Boing
