Rating 5-Stars

It’s 1953 and Brandon “Slugger” O’Toole is suffering from the death of his wife. Becoming an alcoholic his boxing has really hit bottom. After the last fight, his trainer drops him, and he buries himself in the bottle. When a gang of youths rolls him after leaving a bar one night, he’s unable to defend himself and beaten badly. Waking up, he’s being cared for by the bar owner and his wife. They invite him to their Christmas party, and there he’s offered a job with a construction company building a hotel in Africa.

The job in Central Africa is going well until rebels, the Sezanda Socialist Army, attempts to take control of the country. Foreigners are captured and taken to Hell Camp XXI, where they are imprisoned under the command of a former Nazi, whose idea of discipline is to have a huge boxer beat the prisoner to death, or near death. When O’Toole interferes with the beating of a young friend, he is forced into the ring, but beats the boxer.

This is another top ranked story. Not only do we have good boxing sequences, when the prisoners revolt they capture weapons and a miniature war ensues inside the camp. A British unit was also being held prisoners, and O’Toole had been a marine in WWII, and was equally as good with gun and fists.

The Shrinking Man

With Hollywood talking about remaking the great 1950s movie, The Incredible Shrinking Man, I thought I would share the paperback cover with everyone. Knowing Hollywood, I hope they do it right. I would hate to see this old classic turned into a comedy.

5 Star Review

Three Go Back was so exciting that I couldn't put the book down. Tom Johnson’s novels are always great! In addition to the great story, I also like the information section that he put in the book, the one listing various creatures from the different time periods of the earth's history. He listed a lot of them. The readers will learn a lot from reading the book, along with other books that he has written. Congratulations on a great book!

Exciting Pulp Tales Review

Exciting Pulp Tales  (Pulp Thrills)

Rating 5-Stars

EXCITING PULP TALES by Tom Johnson: If you are a male of a certain age, i.e., you remember learning to drive on dirt roads, then you will also be acquainted with pulp magazines, radio show thrillers, and other sundry leisure activities of the 1950s. This sequel to Tom Johnson's PULP DETECTIVES anthology, brings you ten more all-new stories featuring classic pulp heroes such as The Angel, The Green Ghost, The Cobra, The Crimson Mask, Gentle Jones, The Purple Scar, Funny Face, Mr. Death, The Jungle Queen, and Ki-Gor. Neither long on plot nor always politically correct, to read them is to hear once again, the clackity clack of a manual Remington typewriter, smell the aroma of a cheap cigar, and know that at least in one part of one's life, good will overcome evil. So sit back and enjoy stories even dames can like.
