Они бродили по исчезнувшему миру, который еще вчера был Америкой. Несчастные, потерянные дети, чудом выжившие в Армагеддоне и пережившие гибель целого поколения. Они – последняя надежда Америки. Но прежде чем наступит их Завтра, они должны уничтожить орды варваров, которые опустошают зеленые поля и холмы их родины, ведь ночь не может длиться вечно. И пусть они находятся в безопасности на своей неприступной скале – под ними лежит Америка, умоляющая об избавлении от угнетателей, захвативших власть в стране.

A jail cell held the answer to the murder of Vic’s policeman father, and the price of learning it would be—Vic’s own life!

They roamed the vanished world that yesterday was America. During the last two decades of his life, Zagat wrote short stories prolifically. About 500 pieces appeared in a variety of pulp magazines, including Thrilling Wonder Stories, Argosy, Dime Mystery Magazine, Horror Stories, Operator No 5 and Astounding.

12 tales of the masked hero, as he smashes his way through spy-rings and other fiendish plots to destroy America!

In the spy vs. spy world of the late 1930s, this masked hero prowled the underworld, dressed in an "amorphous fluttering black robe, bat-like, [with] a gray-masked head through whose twin eye-slits menace glinted." But it was not so much the costume as the "hand, ebony-black in its glove--but for the finger curled around the trigger of that gun. That finger was not black but vividly, awesomely scarlet." (From "Caged Horror.") Powerful stuff in those days!

Included in this volume:
SECOND-HAND DEATH
DEATH RIDES THE SOUND
RED FINGER -- DEATH DEALER
CAGED HORROR

A note to the culturally sensitive: Some of these stories contain elements of "yellow peril" racism. This series originally appeared in the Operator #5 pulp magazine between 1934 and 1938. They are products of their era and are definitely NOT politically correct by today's standards. You have been warned!
