"The Time-Raider" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel written in the late 1920s. The story centers around the adventure of the main character and his friend, Dr. Lantin, as they investigate the mysterious disappearance of renowned archaeologist Professor Ferdinand Cannell in the jungles of Indo-China while searching for the lost city of Angkor. The narrative explores themes of time travel and the unknown, particularly focusing on Cannell's encounter with an enigmatic entity capable of traversing both time and space. The opening of the book introduces the suspenseful backdrop of Cannell's disappearance, highlighting his status as a distinguished archaeologist. The narrative unfolds from the perspective of an unnamed narrator who recounts events leading to Cannell's enigmatic encounters, underlining the mystery that looms over his presumed fate. The tale begins with Cannell's journey into the depths of Angkor, where his exploration takes a dark turn as he is seized by a strange, supernatural force. The atmosphere is thick with tension as the protagonist recounts details of Cannell's return three years later, illustrating both a physical and psychological transformation that has left him traumatized and fearful of a force that threatens his life. Through vivid descriptions and a compelling buildup of suspense, the opening chapters set the stage for a thrilling adventure through time and space. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
