| Summary | "Frank Reade, Jr., Fighting the Terror of the Coast" by Luis Senarens is a serialized adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Frank Reade, Jr., a talented inventor known for his extraordinary steam and electrical inventions, particularly a remarkable air-ship called the Jove. The narrative introduces a sense of urgency as Reade finds himself entwined in a dramatic rescue mission; alongside his loyal companions, Barney and Pomp, he aims to thwart Captain Diavolo, a pirate threatening the life of a young boy, Leon Zamora, held captive on the coast. The opening of the novel sets the stage with a dramatic chase as a Mexican man named Juan Zamora frantically seeks out Frank Reade, Jr. He rides through Readestown on horseback, desperate to enlist Reade’s help to save his son from the clutches of Diavolo and his band of pirates. Through a dialogue with Frank's wife, it becomes clear that Frank is away testing his flying machine. The narrative quickly escalates as Zamora learns that time is of the essence; he must catch Frank before the inventor ascends into the air. This opening establishes a thrilling premise that combines adventure, technology, and the urgency of a rescue mission, drawing readers into a world of fantastical inventions and perilous exploits.
