Overview: Stanton Arthur Coblentz (1896 – 1982) was an American author and poet. He received a Master’s Degree in English literature and then began publishing poetry during the early 1920s. His first published science fiction was "The Sunken World," a satire about Atlantis, in Amazing Stories Quarterly for July, 1928. The next year, he published his first novel, The Wonder Stick. But poetry and history were his greatest strengths. Coblentz tended to write satirically. He also wrote books of literary criticism and nonfiction concerning historical subjects.

After 12,000 Years (1975) (Jerry eBooks):
The novel concerns Henry Merwin, who after taking part in an experiment finds himself 12,000 years in the future. Taken captive by a giant race, he is forced to care for their insect pets. He falls in love with a fellow prisoner, Luellan, but his captors will not allow them to marry. Instead he is forced to go to war with his insect charges. The insects eventually grow to such a size that they take over much of the earth. Merwin returns to rescue Luellen, escaping to her home in Borneo.
Enchantress of Lemuria (1941):
Will Claybrook had invented an amazing new scientific apparatus. It was called the “Pellucid Depth Ray,” and with it he could see images deep inside the Earth—literally miles and miles from the surface. It was an amazing principle far beyond common x-ray technology. And with this wondrous device Will Claybrook set out to visually explore the mysteries of Earth’s interior. But much to his astonishment, and far beyond anything he ever expected to find, was his discovery of a lost world inside the Earth; and in this vast inner cavern was a magnificent city known as Le-Mur. One of its denizens was a beautiful young woman named Ilwanna, daughter of the ruler of Le-Mur. And from the moment he saw her, Will Claybrook knew this lovely creature was the one person on Earth he must have. But when set out to explore Earth’s underbelly in search of her, little did he realize the formula for disaster he carried with him into his subterranean paradise.
Into Plutonian Depths (1931) (Jerry eBooks):
THE discovery of the planet Pluto opens up to astronomers a new world for scientific investigation, and to science fiction authors a new outlet for their prophetic imaginations.
As yet we know little about the sun’s distant child, and speculation as to its physical nature and conditions have arisen on all sides.
Certainly Pluto presents a romantic aspect to us as the lone outpost of the solar system. At its distance from the sun, that proud globe would have shrunk to a barely perceptible disc, and a day on Pluto would mean no more than eternal twilight. Its surface would be intensely cold, tho its interior might be warm enough to support life such as we know it. But we have said enough to indicate that in that lonely sentinel-planet we have the source of endless adventure and drama, and our well-known author makes the most of his opportunity to give us a story that is not only exciting to the highest degree and filled with strangeness and mystery, but also possessed of that keen kiting humor of which he is a master.
The Blue Barbarians (1931) (Jerry eBooks):
CLEVER satire always makes excellent reading. Mr. Coblentz’s stories, in addition to being clever satirical studies, always gave us, at least, the feeling that somehow he was having a lot of fun at our expense. True, he writes about the world—in fact, he takes us to another planet—in the year 800,000. But so many times we get an uncannily distinct feeling of strange familiarity—yet everything in the novel is vastly different from anything we know about today. And the story our author tells us is not about us human beings. “The Blue Barbarians” (and that is exactly what they are), although written distinctively in the Coblentz manner, has a touch of Dean Swift. This is undoubtedly the best story we have published by this well-known author. It is thought-provoking, contains a lot of science, and is easily worth two readings. In short, it is a good example of typical classic scientific fiction and we recommend it to you.
The Cosmic Deflector (1943) (Short Story):
It’s one thing to force the Earth out of its orbit, and another to force it back in again!
The Man From Tomorrow (1933) (Jerri eBooks):
This book is an engrossing, often charming tale, about an unintentional visitor from the future. When James Cloud entered the offices of Professor Elliot Howard, he spun a wild scientific tale about being able to view the distant past or future with his revolutionary new device…The Fourth Dimension Machine. But it was with great skepticism that Howard and his assistant, Dr. Horn, visited Cloud’s lodgings—a man they were certain was a scientific crackpot. However, within minutes, not only had Cloud proved the authenticity of his device, but he had also deposited a man from 300 years in the future into a wire contrivance on the machine itself. And when this man from tomorrow awoke, the world would never be the same again. His physical attributes, his knowledge, his clothing, and especially his arrogance, were like nothing 20th Century mankind had ever experienced before
The Nemesis of the Astropede (Short Story):
Handsome Merimtrope plans to deluge the world in blood and betray the lovely High Regent Polydora!
The Sunken World (1928) (Jerry eBook) :
The book is a wonderful science fiction undersea thriller. It was the launching of a new, futuristic submarine, the mighty X-111. But the country was shocked when its Captain and crew were reported lost at sea shortly after launch. It was an abrupt ending to a maiden voyage that had started so promisingly. However, it was only the beginning, the beginning of an underwater adventure never before heard of or imagined by the land-dwelling peoples of Earth. Keep company with the men and women of a truly remarkable underwater city, whose existence in our history has only been noted as rumor—or myth. This is Stanton A. Coblentz’s epic tale of Atlantis…the lost continent of old, described as no other author before him.
When the Birds Fly South (1945):
Dan Prescott, an American adventurer, discovers the hidden valley of Sobul in a mountainous region of Afghanistan, inhabited by a strange race of winged people known as the Ibandru. One of them, Yasma, he falls in love with and marries in a scene of general celebration. When fall comes, however, the Ibandru abandon their valley to fly south with the birds for the winter. Unable to bear the loss of Yasma, Prescott pleads with her to remain with him rather than participate in the traditional migration, with tragic consequences for his marriage.
