Hell's Legionnaire by L. Ron Hubbard (English) Paperback Book

Description: Hell's Legionnaire by L. Ron Hubbard American Ann Halliday is as sexy as Rita Hayworth and as fiery as the Sahara sun. And now shes feeling some real heat, as the prize captive of the Berber leader Abd el Malek . . . also known as "The Killer." But Abd el Malek wants Ann alive-and in chains-subject to his every whim and fantasy. Dusty Colton, however, an American deserter from the French Foreign Legion, has a different idea. With all the swagger of Robert Mitchum, hes determined to give "The Killer" a taste of his own bloody medicine. The only problem is . . . Dusty himself is wanted for murder. Can Ann and Dusty team up and turn evil on its head? One things for sure-between Ann and the Hells Legionnaire, the temperature is about to get even hotter. On the subject of North Africa, Hubbard said that writers too often "forget a great deal of the languorous quality which made the Arabian Nights so pleasing. Jewels, beautiful women, towering cities filled with mysterious shadows, sultans equally handy with robes of honor and the beheading sword." Hubbard brings this unique insight to his stories of North Africa and the Legionnaires, investing them with an authenticity of time, place and character that will keep you asking for more. Also includes the adventure stories, The Barbarians, in which a Legionnaire sets out to avenge a savage killing and makes a stunning discovery, and The Squad That Never Came Back, the story of a man who has uncovered the secret to a city of gold-a secret that could turn into a death sentence. "Action-packed . . . standout . . . hard-core graphic." -Library Journal FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and 40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century. Review "Action-packed ... standout ... hard-core graphic." -- Library Journal Review Quote The title story of this Hubbard pulp fiction reissue isnt actually the most interesting of the three pulse-pounding long short stoties in the collection. That distinction goes to "The Squad That Never Came Back," recounted in flashbacks by an unnamed corporal in the Foreign Legion stationed in Morocco. The opening pulls readers in: "Back in Sidibel- Abbes they still think that my squad and I died in a miserable outpost on the northern slope of the High Atlas Mountains." The narrator reveals that he alone survived to tell the tale, and proceeds to relate how the remains of men dead only two years were found buried in an ancient Roman city after his squad became obsessed with buried treasure. The suspense is markedly more heightened than in "Hells Legionnaire," which almost instantly presents an attractive woman falling into the clutches of a lecherous villain, who literally licks his lips at having her in his power.
