Dr. Nikola’s Experiment

Dr. Nikola’s Experiment

by Guy Boothby

Dr. Nikola, the enigmatic and relentless pursuer of immortality, delves deeper into his quest in the wilds of Northumbria. Conducting experiments on longevity and rejuvenation, Nikola finds himself entangled in a complex web of intrigue and danger. His pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds, and his actions often border on the unethical. Meanwhile, his assistant, entangled in a forbidden romance with a beautiful Spaniard, finds himself caught in the crossfire of Nikola's ambitions. As Nikola's Chinese enemies, determined to bring about his downfall, close in, the line between hero and villain becomes increasingly blurred. This compelling tale explores the seductive allure of forbidden knowledge and the lengths to which some will go to achieve immortality.
