This is the second edition of The Treasure of Tantalus, with errors corrected and the literary treatment much improved. There is no doubt that this story is one of the most exciting scientific stories to emerge in the early 20th century. Suppose it were possible to construct something like a radio-television device with which one could spy on every person anywhere in the world. There will be no more secrets. It would be virtually impossible to conduct business, and the world would quickly become disorganized, with panic and chaos reigning. This is the theme of the book "The Treasure of Tantalus" and the famous and famous author Garrett Smith made the most of this idea. The author wrote this novel under the impression of the development of radio and television. Who can say that this may not be happening in our time? But beyond the science behind the story, you'll find this to be a top-notch thriller. There is hardly a page that does not make the reader worry!
