The Bowl of Baal

the long version

The Bowl of Baal is a period piece; a nostalgic, half-forgotten survival of the year 1916 when it appeared as a long serial in All Around magazine. Larry O'Brien ventures into the unknown Arabian desert during the days of World War I. His discoveries are epic; an ancient hidden race, troubled by a conflict between two beautiful priestesses; a barbaric tribe of cave dwellers; and a monstrous saurian survival that represents a threat to all. Robert Ames Bennet's first novel, THYRA, a thrilling tale of a Viking lost race, was published in 1901. For many years Mr. Bennet was one of the south-west's most prolific authors, turning out historical, adventure, and western fiction. Join in a nostalgic expedition to the year 1916 and to the "Bowl of Baal," when the world was far larger and much less complicated.
