The Call of Adventure. The Voice of Gullivar Jones. 

A US Naval officer goes to Mars on a magic carpet in Edwin Lester Arnold’s pioneering pulp novel, Lieutenant Gullivar Jones: His Vacation. Part hapless tourist, part intrepid explorer, Lieutenant Jones risks all to protect the Martian princess Heru, his guileless enthusiasm, duty to country, and gentlemanly heroics shining every step, lurch, and leap of the way.

In this new adventure set thirty years after the 1905 original, now-retired Captain Jones joins British agents Abigail Bradshaw and Archibald Smart to find the Fountain of Youth before Hitler or Stalin can use its fabled waters to create armies of immortal soldiers.

The only link to the Fountain’s location is a 1914 expedition shrouded in such secrecy, Jones and company must travel the globe seeking obscure clues.

The expedition’s leader, Tsar Nicholas II, hoped the water would cure his hemophiliac son Alexei, while assuring the malevolent mystic Rasputin never learned of its powerful secrets.

Throughout this unforgettable journey, you’ll encounter ancient civilizations, notorious Nazi doctors, famous world leaders like the Japanese Emperor Meiji, US President Teddy Roosevelt, and of course, the last Tsar and his ill-fated family.

Our story begins in the present day, after an online DNA test reveals a long-lost member of the Jones family.
