A blizzard in July and a woman's image frozen in glass-how could these bizarre events possibly be connected? To find the answer and save the life of Ranyon Cartheris, The Man Of Bronze and his dauntless allies journey to hot desert sands halfway round the world, where they are trapped-perhaps never to emerge-in the ancient underground tombs of Tasunan.

Lester Dent (1904–1959) was born in La Plata, Missouri. In his mid-twenties, he began publishing pulp fiction stories, and moved to New York City, where he developed the successful Doc Savage Magazine with Henry Ralston, head of Street and Smith, a leading pulp publisher. The magazine ran from 1933 until 1949 and included 181 novel-length stories, of which Dent wrote the vast majority under the house name Kenneth Robeson. He also published mystery novels in a variety of genres, including the Chance Molloy series about a self-made airline owner. Dent’s own life was quite adventurous; he prospected for gold in the Southwest, lived aboard a schooner for a few years, hunted treasure in the Caribbean, launched an aerial photography company, and was a member of the Explorer’s Club.
