It has taken me a while to convert some of my stories to paperback, so I'm stoked to be able to add this third title to my growing stable of physical books.

The Valley of Despair is a fun tale, very much in the style and topic of Edgar Rice Burroughs where we have a hero who discovers a "lost race" in the midst of the dark, foreboding jungles of Africa (or, since he's a German pilot, Afrika).

It was reviewer Charles Van Buren who mentioned in his review of this title that he would like a sequel, and it was the sequel that I first converted to paper format, thinking Valley was too short to do so.

But where there's a will there is usually a way. With some attention to font size, margins, page size, etc, I was able to make it work.

The sequel, The Cosmos of Despair, is certainly a bizarre yarn, whereas Valley is more straight up lost race with a scyfy twist that I hope you enjoy.

Best,

Chris.
