The Man From The Clouds by J. Storer Clouston is a classic mystery novel that was first published in 1921. The story revolves around a man named John Dene, who arrives in London from Canada with a mysterious invention that he claims will revolutionize the world. However, he is met with skepticism and suspicion from the British government and the press, who are unsure of his true intentions.As Dene tries to navigate the complex politics and power struggles of London, he finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue and danger. He is aided by a young journalist named Jimmy Traill, who is eager to uncover the truth behind Dene's invention and protect him from those who would do him harm.Together, Dene and Traill must unravel a conspiracy that threatens to upend the balance of power in Europe and plunge the world into chaos. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including spies, politicians, and even a mysterious woman who may hold the key to the truth.The Man From The Clouds is a gripping and entertaining novel that combines elements of mystery, suspense, and political intrigue. Clouston's writing is sharp and witty, and he creates a vivid and engaging world that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.I did not wait for it to descend again. That somebody was striking at me from above and that I had better get out of the way seemed so evident that I spent no further time in watching the operation. I started from the cliff, my foot struck a patch of seaweed, and with a half smothered Damn! I did the next few yards sliding seawards on my side. A peculiarly hard ledge stopped my career and for a moment I lay there wondering what bones were broken.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
