Two classic romances dealing with the struggle between ancient Rome and Carthage, in the tradition of "Quo Vadis" and "Ben Hur," by a promising young author whose life was cut short in 1930, when he was only 37. Sample reviews for "The Figure in the Sand" from 1924: "'Quo Vadis' has a rival" - San Francisco Bulletin "Mystery, romance and religion woven into one garment with infinite charm..." - Duluth Herald "It is an excellent echo of the type of book of which 'Quo Vadis' is still the shining example." - The New York Times "Picturesque romance - a combination of 'Quo Vadis, ' 'Ben Hur' asnd 'Vergilius.' The style is poetic and romantic." - Colorado Gazette "This book is not only charming, it is exquisite - full of life and color." - Commercial, Buffalo, NY "Ah Once in a blue moon a reviewer makes a rich find... The atmosphere is classic, the plot rarely original, the climax powerfully dramatic." - New Bedford, Mass. Standard "Although it is the work of a young author, has much of the power of the masterpieces." - Sacramento Bee "The story is a thrilling one. It is intensely dramatic, and the classical as well as the romantic atmosphere give it a special interest. The author has contributed a very real and vital bit to literature." - Portland, Maine Evening Express "It has romance, tragedy, atmosphere and some effective descriptive writing to recommend it." - Des Moines Capital
