Summary

In "The Crimson Flash," Roy J. Snell weaves a compelling narrative that explores themes of adventure, morality, and the complexities of human nature. Set against a backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story follows the enigmatic figure of the Crimson Flash, a masked hero who navigates the fine line between justice and vigilantism. Snell's prose is marked by its vivid imagery and fast-paced dialogue, evoking the serials of his time while also reflecting the moral uncertainties present in society. The novel belongs to the genre of early crime fiction, embodying elements of pulp literature that interrogate the allure of heroism and the shadows it casts over the criminal world. Roy J. Snell, active predominantly in the 1920s and 1930s, was a prolific writer whose works often mirrored the cultural tensions of post-war America. Having gained experience as a newspaper journalist, Snell possessed an acute understanding of both public sentiment and the intricacies of crime. This background likely motivated him to craft narratives that spoke to the American psyche, eliciting excitement while addressing ethical dilemmas faced by individuals. His interest in adventure tales and complex characters often results in layered storytelling that invites reflection. For readers who enjoy tales steeped in action, moral ambiguity, and richly drawn characters, "The Crimson Flash" is a must-read. Snell's unique perspective and stylistic flair offer not only an engaging adventure but also a deeper commentary on the nature of heroism and societal justice. This work is an essential addition to the library of any enthusiast of early 20th-century literature and crime fiction.

    In the heart of Sydney, the Waggawagga tribe of banded sugar ants, led by the food-loving Queen Nellie, enjoyed a life of plenty. Each night, they would march into a nearby supermarket, their path illuminated by the moon, to gather a feast of sweet and savoury delights, all for free. The Queen would issue her shopping list, and her loyal generals would dispatch their platoons, each with its own marching song, to different sections of the storerooms. 
    However, their nightly ritual was abruptly halted when the store owners, weary of the constant pilfering, blocked all the secret entrances. The ants returned empty-handed, facing the wrath of their furious queen, who sent them to bed without supper. But the resourceful ants did not despair. They devised an ingenious plan: to fly into the supermarket inside soap bubbles. The next night, they put their plan into action, floating into the storeroom, their marching songs echoing within the shimmering spheres. They gathered their provisions and returned to their queen in even larger bubbles, their mission a resounding success. Queen Nellie was overjoyed and rewarded her clever subjects with extra helpings. The following morning, the store owners were left scratching their heads, bewildered by the mysteriously slippery floor and the ever-dwindling stock.
