Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Robert Michael Ballantyne, the Scottish master of the adventure genre for young people


Originally published in 1858, “Martin Rattler” (AKA Martin Rattler: Adventures of a Boy in the Forests of Brazil) is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Michael Ballantyne.

This masterpiece tells the story of Martin Rattler, a mischievous young boy with a good heart. By mistake, he winds up on the ship Firefly with his friend Barney O’Flannagan, headed to the South Seas. Escaping pirates and surviving a shipwreck, the two explore South America in one frolicking adventure after another.
A thoroughly delightful read following the young adventurers as they canoe down the Amazon, narrowly escape an alligator, eat an anaconda and turtle’s eggs, are captured by Indians, and then are separated. Martin escapes by jumping over a cliff and tries to make his way home. But what happened to his friend Barney O’Flannagan?

    Souvenir by Philip K. Dick - A hideous nightmare seemed the culture of Williamson's World–to men who knew nothing of beauty. 
    "Here we go, sir," the robot pilot said. The words startled Rogers and made him look up sharply. He tensed his body and adjusted the trace web inside his coat as the bubble ship started dropping, swiftly and silently, toward the planet's surface, 
    This–his heart caught–was Williamson's World. The legendary lost planet–found, after three centuries. By accident, of course. This blue and green planet–the holy grail of the Galactic System, had been almost miraculously discovered by a routine charting mission.

    The Last Plunge by S. J. Sackett - Granting the need for money, a man will do any dangerous job that comes along; Borgmann was such a man; air lion diving off Uranus—the job! 
    When you are only about ninety degrees from absolute zero, it is not hot, despite the fact that the sun is shining down on you twenty-four hours a day. The answer to this riddle is that you are on Uranus, in the arctic circle, where the sun is a bright star almost directly overhead. And what are you doing on Uranus? You need the money. 
    Nils Borgmann, however, was sweating. And the reason was that the heating unit on his space suit, like the heating units on almost all space suits, was not functioning properly. The breathing mechanism was in good shape, however, and the oxygenerator on the raft pumped in fresh air in satisfying amounts. 
    Nils needed money badly, for he had a wife and seven children. So he said, "Let me down a little farther." For he saw a big, white shape dimly through the murk—an air lion. 
    Up on the raft, where they heard the message, the drum went round and paid out another twenty feet of the cable by which Nils Borgmann was suspended in the Uranian atmosphere. Borgmann took aim and fired. 
    The shape kept moving. An air lion's hide is so tough that you have to hit it right under the ribs or through the eye in order to kill it, and Nils could not see that one clearly enough, despite the headlamp on his helmet. 
    "Get it?" came the voice in his earphones. 
    "I'll tell you when I've got one," Nils said. 
    "We're sending down Petrone." 
    "How about running the harpoon down to where I am?" 
    "Okay, Nils. Sorry," the voice said. 
    The radio was very comforting to Nils Borgmann. Through it he felt close to the surface, as if he had friends ready to help him at any moment. It made him forget the real dangers of his situation.
