This is the second edition of the book “The Treasure of Tantalus,” in which errors have been corrected and the literary editing has been significantly improved.
No doubt, this story is one of the most captivating scientific stories that appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. Imagine that it would be possible to construct something like a radio-television device that could spy on every person anywhere in the world. There would be no secrets anymore. It would be virtually impossible to run a business, and the world would quickly become disorganized—panic and chaos would take over. This is the theme of “The Treasures of Tantalus,” and the well-known and famous author Garrett Smith used this idea to the maximum. The author wrote this novel inspired by the development of radio and television. Who can say that exactly this can’t happen in our time?
But besides the scientific foundation of the story, you’ll also find a first-rate thriller. Hardly a page will fail to make the reader worry!
