| Summary | "The Transient Lake; or, Frank Reade, Jr.'s Adventures in a Mysterious Country" by Noname is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Frank Reade Jr., the son of a famous inventor, who embarks on an expedition into a mysterious country marked by terrifying landscapes and strange phenomena. Alongside Captain Nicodemus Beere, we see their thrilling journey to investigate the enigmas surrounding the Transient Lake, a body of water known for its ability to mysteriously appear and disappear. At the start of the narrative, the scene is set with Captain Beere recounting his incredible adventures during a storm that led him to the discovery of a hidden treasure in the lake's basin. The captain visits Frank Reade Jr. and proposes a new expedition to locate the Transient Lake and the treasure it may hold. This conversation sparks excitement in Frank, who readily agrees to join the journey, planning to set off with his trusty Irish worker Barney O’Shea and his devoted valet Pomp. As preparations begin, the stage is set for their impending adventure into the unknown, suggesting an intriguing mix of danger, discovery, and seemingly fantastical elements awaiting them in their quest.
