> The Secret Garden for saleWhat follows feels like it was written by

> arrested by the police and so on, while encountering more and more
> Freda-alikes, and, even more bizarrely, a number of men who are the
> spitting image of himself. The mystery is cleared up but not before the
> novel enters more familiar Wyndhamish territory, when Johnny and Freda are
> kidnapped and taken to a secret jungle fortress in which an old lady who
> was once a chum of Hitler’s rules over an army of Aryan human clones who
> travel about in flying saucers."
