GOD'S PRISONER
By John Oxenham.
12mo, $1.25.
A story of adventure in England and the Southern Seas.
Dial: "A series of the most romantic and startling experiences. The author's invention is unflaggingly brilliant, and his narrative manner both direct and forcible.... The reader bent upon excitement alone, and the reader who delights in the better qualities of romance—in literary form and psychological portrayal—will alike find their account in a book which we counsel them not to miss."
Book Buyer: "It is not likely that any story bristles more with ingenious surprises.... If the reader should leave off in the middle, there is no doubt that he would be sorely perplexed; but it is safe to say that he will never have the fortitude to leave off in the middle."
New York Commercial Advertiser: "A very intense sort of book.... Many thrilling scenes and strong delineations of emotion."
New York Times: "A romance of adventure carried out to its ultimate degree."
New York Tribune: "By a daring abuse of coincidence the climax is made positively amazing.... The tale of his wanderings is well invented and diverting.... 'God's Prisoner' is unnatural in its tone, but it is not dull."
New York Herald: "Very entertaining reading."
Literary World: "So much of the interest depends on the surprises in the plot, that we will not even give an outline of the story, but only say that it holds several absorbing situations."
Public Opinion: "A good story.... The mystery and agony preceding the discovery is drawn in just the right shades. There was danger of overdoing it, but the author was not to be entrapped.... There are surprises to the end."
Chicago Times-Herald: "There is such power of analysis, of description, and of imagination, that one feels sure that he has to deal here with the ebullition of an uncommon mind."
Saturday Review (London): "He tells his tale in so brisk and plausible a fashion that belief comes easily."
Graphic (London): "Has stronger motive for a novel of romantic and sensational adventure than is at all usual, and to the very great advantage of an otherwise exciting and well-constructed story."
