“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.
