• Shiels second book and first novel.

• M.
• P.

The Rajahs Sapphire is a story of the final chapter in the history of a famous gem that haunts all who chance to own it. Shiel wrote twenty-five novels and dozens of short stories, most of them romantic mysteries or fast-paced adventures, several dealing with world conquest.

• Others are distinctly supernatural or border on science fiction.
• Most are interspersed with discourses on his philosophy and sociology of the Overman.

And most, regardless of genre, were written in Shiels patented poetic prose.
