“A Fun Pulp Read”
A Master Mind, only known as “The Man” enlists the
help of hate-mongers called H-8 to steal plutonium from the Hardin Power
Station. The Man plans on killing the H-8 when everything is done, anyway, so
he doesn’t warn them of radioactive poisoning from the plutonium, and some of
them quickly get sick. One of The Voice’s personal friends, and helper,
receives cryptic radio transmissions from the State Highway Patrol, and
contacts him about the mysterious messages. When The Voice, a fourth-generation
Independent Operator, unravels the situation, he goes after the men holding the
deadly plutonium before they can kill everyone in the city.
This was a fun little story in the pulp hero mold. The
Voice was possibly the son of another famous secret agent, who was forced to
retire to Grand Forks, North Dakota, where he and his wife start a newspaper
business. Their son takes on the mask of his father when he becomes of age. If
you like pulp fiction, this book is for you. The Voice is counted among the
heroic players of the past. New Pulp action, and even a descent villain in The
Coral Snake.
