QR code
"Drome" by John Martin Leahy is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around the enigmatic disappearance of two scientists, Milton Rhodes and William Carter, who vanish after a visit from a mysterious guest. As their friend and colleague, Darwin Frontenac, begins to investigate their disappearance, he uncovers a tale filled with otherworldly elements, dark secrets, and a haunting connection to Mount Rainier that intertwines scientific inquiry with the
supernatural. The beginning of "Drome" introduces the reader to Darwin Frontenac, who is returning from an Antarctic expedition only to be met with the unsettling news of Rhodes and Carter's vanishing. The narrative gradually reveals that they had planned to undertake experiments related to their scientific pursuits but instead sought something ominous on Mount Rainier, prompted by a mysterious stranger's visit before their disappearance. As Frontenac delves deeper into the enigma, he learns of strange phenomena linked to the mountain, eyewitness accounts of an angel and a demon, and the perilous legacy of the "Drome" mystery that threatens not just the facts of scientific observation but the very lives of those who seek the truth.
