In Strange Company
by Guy Boothby
Australian writer Guy Boothby used his trip as food for his fiction. Although his first publication was a non-fiction account of a journey in his native country, he soon turned to fiction as a starting point for his work, focusing primarily on adventure, mystery, and detective tales. The Strange Company had Bootby's first novel and instant success, and it will satisfy modern readers looking for a well-knit adventure story.
