Jason, Son of Jason, by John Ulrich Giesy (1877 - 1947)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/jason-son-of-jason-by-john-ulrich-giesy/
We return to Palos, where Jason and Naia await the birth of their first son. Jason brings Dr. Murray to Palos to assist in the birth. Later, when Naia and the child are kidnapped, Dr. Murray again returns to Palos. Jason Croft once again uses his knowledge of earth technology to overcome the challenges he faces. (Summary by Krista Zaleski)

Hi Ann, apparently I can't read Roman Numerals. There are 11 sections, not 21 (oopsy). Can you please delete the extra 10 at the end of the MW. Thanks.
