“For Pulp Fans And Lovers of
Good Action”
Men of industry are being
murdered, and then their factories are taken over by other firms. When Orson Woolcott
III is killed nearby as Jim Anthony, Tom Gentry, and Jim’s fiancé, Delores Colquitt
are returning to the hotel, Jim rushes to the murder scene and discovers a horrendous
corpse bleeding out a form of mustard gas. It’s the beginning of another great mystery
to be solved, and a dire plot aimed at our fighting men in Europe.
I love stories set during
WWII, and Jim Anthony was one of the better clones of Doc Savage back in the
days of the pulp magazines. This story could have easily been published in the original
pulps, as it read true to the original character. The story moves fast, and
keeps the reader involved. I highly recommend this for pulp fans, and lovers of
good action and adventure mysteries.
