- Summary:
- "Astounding Stories of Super-Science, October, 1930" by Various is a collection of science fiction short stories written in the early 20th century. The anthology includes thrilling tales that explore themes of scientific innovation and futuristic adventures, featuring characters like Dr. Bird, a scientific sleuth, and Operative Carnes, as they investigate mysterious brain-stealing criminals in the story "Stolen Brains." The opening of the collection introduces us to Dr. Bird and Operative Carnes, who are heading to a fishing lodge in Maine, ostensibly to recuperate from work but are soon pulled into a mystery involving cases of amnesia linked to significant figures. As they delve deeper into the woods, they encounter lookalike doubles and sinister plots that lead them to an underground laboratory run by a villainous dwarf, Slavatsky, who is abducting notable intellectuals to extract a mysterious substance known as menthium. This riveting start sets the stage for an adventure filled with suspense, science, and intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
