The Lost City is the second book in a series of 24 adventure and mystery novels. It was written by John Blaine, a pseudonym for authors Harold L. Goodwin and Peter J. Harkins. It was published by Grosset and Dunlap in 1947. The first edition and early printings were published in reddish-tan cloth-bound hardcovers with an illustrated dust jacket. The series title on the front panel of the dust jacket was "A Rick Brant Electronic Adventure." The storyline of the series features teenaged Rick Brant and his former-Marine pal, Don "Scotty" Scott, who live on Spindrift Island, off the coast of New Jersey, where Rick's father, Hartson Brant, heads the Spindrift Foundation, a group of scientists. Throughout the series, Rick and Scotty are involved in various adventures at home and abroad. In The Lost City, the second book of the series, Rick and Scotty journey to the Himalayas to set up a relay station to bounce a radar signal off the moon.
