"The Transient Lake; or, Frank Reade, Jr.'s Adventures in a Mysterious Country" by Noname is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Frank Reade Jr., the son of a famous inventor, who embarks on an expedition into a mysterious country marked by terrifying landscapes and strange phenomena.

At the start of the narrative, the scene is set with Captain Beere recounting his incredible adventures during a storm that led him to the discovery of a hidden treasure in the lake's basin.
