The Megatherium Club (Digital Edition)

The Megatherium Club – Vol.1: The Great Ape
By Owen D. Pomery

“What more noble pursuit for immortal souls? Riches? War and Butchery? Political Chicanery? Superstition? Pleasure? What we seek is the TRUTH!” – William Stimpson, Founder of the Megatherium Club

The Megatherium Club was a group of scientists who operated out of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington between 1857 and 1866.  They were that peculiar brand of gentleman scientist that can no longer exist due to the emphasis in our time on such boring trivialities as academic qualifications, sobriety and safety.  Essentially it was like  the Royal Society if its president had been Dave Bassett instead of Sir Isaac Newton.  In this volume we join our intrepid heroes during one of the darkest periods of their existence, as they set out on a quest to find evidence of the Yeti.  A quest, which if unsuccessful, may mean the end of The Megatherium Club!
