The Morning Advertiser says:--"A book by Headon Hill may always be
relied on to provide good reading with plenty of incident. In 'A Race
with Ruin' he fully maintains his reputation. A good, stirring story
with an admirable and well-worked-out plot."
MILLIONS OF MISCHIEF.
The Stage says:--"Not even the late Guy Boothby imagined anything more
magnificently preposterous than the motive of Mr. Headon Hill's
'Millions of Mischief.'"
THE AVENGERS.
The Tribune says:--"Mr. Hill's new book, 'The Avengers,' has not a dull
line, and one's pulse is kept on the jig all the time."
UNMASKED AT LAST.
The Sheffield Telegraph says:--"The story is in the author's most
approved style, one of those alluringly audacious plots that Headon
Hill revels in."
THE HIDDEN VICTIM.
SIR Wm. MAGNAY, BART.
THE RED CHANCELLOR.
Lloyd's News says:--"A story full of action, with its characters
strongly drawn. The book altogether is one that can be most heartily
recommended."
THE MAN OF THE HOUR.
The Pall Mall Gazette says:--"Of sterling merit. The plot of the book
is as well contrived as in any tale of the kind we have read."
COUNT ZARKA.
The World says:--"Clever and entertaining. The narrative is brisk; it
affords us glimpses of forest scenery which we like, and one remarkable
departure from beaten tracks, a woman's duel in earnest. This feat of
arms forms the subject of an illustration in his best manner by Maurice
Grieffenhagen."
FAUCONBERG.
The Field says:--"The book has a grip, and should be a success. The
ultimate fate of Fauconberg is always in doubt from the beginning to
the unexpected ending."
THE MASTER SPIRIT.
The Court Journal says:--"A capital story. The intensely interesting
situation is developed with much ingenuity and power.... A really
fascinating novel."
THE MYSTERY OF THE UNICORN.
GUY BOOTHBY
THE RACE OF LIFE.
The English Review says:--"Ahead even of Mr. Cutcliffe Hyne and Sir
Conan Doyle, Mr. Boothby may be said to have topped popularity's pole."
FOR LOVE OF HER.
The Court Journal says:--"The many admirers of Mr. Guy Boothby will
welcome another volume from his pen, and will not be disappointed in
their expectations. The book shows vivid imagination and dramatic
power. Moreover, sketches of Australian life, from one who knows his
subject, are always welcome."
A CRIME OF THE UNDER SEAS.
The Speaker says:--"Is quite the equal in art, observation, and
dramatic intensity to any of Mr. Guy Boothby's numerous other romances,
and is in every respect most typical of his powers."
A BID FOR FREEDOM.
The Sheffield Telegraph says:--"As fascinating as any of its
forerunners, and is as finely handled. 'A Bid for Freedom' discloses a
powerfully written romance, which bristles with thrilling passages,
exciting adventures, and hairbreadth escapes."
A TWO-FOLD INHERITANCE.
