Doctor Nikola has finally found the secret to immortality, but he hasn’t put it to the test yet. He needs someone who can help him conduct some experiments. Doctor Ingleby seems to be the perfect choice since he is currently struggling financially and as such, seems willing to go to great lengths to get himself out of misery. Will Nikola and Ingleby’s experiments be successful? Find out in "Dr Nikola’s Experiment". Guy Boothby was an Australian author who lived in the period 1867-1905.

"Book 4 in the "Doctor Nikola" series, continuing the story of an occultist anti-hero seeking immortality and world domination!By 1899, the mysterious literary figure of Dr. Nikola has obtained so strong a hold upon novel readers that the return of this dramatic character needed only be announced to insure immediate attention. And Boothby demonstrated once again the value of suspended interest, and his story held readers until the last page."

Mr. Le Queux, afraid that the old attraction of a treasure-hunt would fail to draw, has added some curious embellishments. A very queer craft dating from about the time of the Armada is sighted and taken in tow by the name 'Sea Horse.' It has on board a still more queer mariner, who looks like a survival of the same period. It has also one treasure—Italian, Spanish, and English gold pieces—and the clue to another. Then follows the accustomed struggle between the honest men and the villains for the possession of the hoard, every circumstance being of an extravagant kind, even down to the composition of the party of villains. Among them is an ex-Professor of Cambridge! We find him first as a common seaman deciphering a writing which has puzzled every one else.—The Spectator, August 29, 1903.
