- Science fiction "set partly at the North Pole in the 1980s, where a Scientist with the powers of a Superman fights against the world-wide economic hegemony of (presumably neo-liberal) American industrialists." (underscore represents linked cross-reference) --SFE3, biog. entry by John Clute
- "[A] world of terror in which captains of industry are struck down by an unseen hand, with limbs of the law helpless to find the supernally wise criminals. But the two heroes provided with an airship of extraordinary power, run down the mastermind at his base, the North Pole, and discover a super-rebel, a new Captain Nemo, who, like Jules Verne's hero, has soured on the world." --brief positive review by Charles J. Finger, NY Herald Tribune 1932-10-02 pI7 "Thrillers for Boys" (others non-genre)
