About this product
Product Information
American Ann Halliday is as sexy as Rita Hayworth and as fiery as the Sahara sun. And now she's 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, he's 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 thing's for sure-between Ann and the Hell's 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

Reviews
The prolific Hubbard was a staple in pulp magazines of the 1930s-50s. He churned stories out in every genre-detective, Westerns, adventure, sf-he did it all. His tales were simple: loaded with tough men, beautiful babes, and tons of action. Legionnaire (1935) follows an American who joins the French Foreign Legion to escape a prison sentence. He goes up against the Berbers to try to save a captive American woman. VERDICT Hubbard is always a quick, fun read. Fans of pulp writing will eat these up. Note that audio versions are available for Death Waits, Legionnaire, and Trouble. The audios feature full-casts and great sound effects. Listen to one and you'll be hooked, "The pulp fictions of the late Hubbard--who wrote numerous New York Times bestsellers and founded the Church of Scientology--are immeasurably improved for modern audiences in these entertaining full-cast radio dramas, complete with slick production, sound effects, and rousing musical themes straight out of a Saturday serial. In this collection of stories--which includes a bodice-ripper action piece with a stock bad guy and a damsel in distress--the capable cast turns in a series of polished performances. The collection's high point is "The Squad That Never Came Back," a gripping story of greed and death narrated by the sole survivor of a Foreign Legion contingent based in Morocco. Fans of radio dramas and the pulp novels of 1930s and 1940s will be delighted." --Publishers Weekly, "Hell's Legionnaire is just the latest installment in an ambitious project to transform more than 200 of Hubbard's stories from the pulp fiction era into multi-cast audio productions complete with stunning digital quality music and sound effects." -Audiobook Heaven, "Featuring full casts plus a narrator and heaps of sound effects, these programs burst to life on audio. The sound effects especially propel the action in a way that print can't match. Hubbard (191186) researched the technical aspects of his subjects (planes, ships, weapons, etc.), lending an authentic feel to his descriptions. The brevity of the stories also keeps them moving briskly. Overall, these are three solid additions to the ongoing series, which will be enjoyed by fans of pulp writing and old-time action, adventure, and romance. Pure fun and you can't beat the price-grab 'em!" -Library Journal, "Hubbard's stories of Americans in the French Foreign Legion positively sparkle in audio format. ... just plain fun." -AudioFile, "The pulp fictions of the late Hubbard--who wrote numerous New York Times bestsellers and founded the Church of Scientology--are immeasurably improved for modern audiences in these entertaining full-cast radio dramas, complete with slick production, sound effects, and rousing musical themes straight out of a Saturday serial.

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 "Hell's 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.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
