I never read anything by LRH before, and never thought I would want to, but after seeing a few of these pulp stories for sale at Job Lot I was intrigued enough to bring a few home.
The style is classic pulp, tough guy heroes and venomous villains, and of course mysterious dames.
The pacing is quick, the action is hot and the plot is twisted. Just as a pulp story should be. To rehash the plot would be to give away too many juicy details.
Mr Hubbard's prose is colorful but not florid, and he seems to know his subject matter, the descriptions and references are most illustrative and evocative. Suffice it to say the book held my interest and kept me turning pages until the unexpected twist ending. I look forward to more of LRH's adventure stories.
