“Adventure,” L. Ron Hubbard said, “I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.” In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.
The 17-book collection includes 24 short stories, illustrations from the original publications and glossaries of historical terms.
The titles and short stories in this collection are:
Arctic Wings, The Black Sultan (includes: “Escape for Three”), Black Towers to Danger, The Bold Dare All, Destiny’s Drum, The Devil—With Wings, Forbidden Gold, Golden Hell (includes: “The Pearl Pirate”), The Headhunters, The Iron Duke, Loot of the Shanung, The Red Dragon, Sea Fangs, The Sky Devil (includes: “Buckley Plays a Hunch” and “Medals for Mahoney”), The Trail of the Red Diamonds (includes: “Hurricane’s Roar”), Twenty Fathoms Down and Yukon Madness (includes: “The Cossack” and “Small Boss of Nunaloha”).
“This is Hubbard in prime pulp-fiction form: a rip-roarin’, high-flyin’ adventure story.” —Booklist
