Summary

Vic Kennedy is in one hell of a jam. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued with   Nicholas Cage’s maverick sense of adventure, Vic’s flown out of  trouble  by the skin of his teeth . . . and straight into the jaws of  disaster. He  chose the wrong side of a rebellion, and now the  French have bid him  adieu and the British have said off you go. It  seems the only place that  will have him is Greece. The problem with  that is, as soon as the  Greeks get him, they plan on giving him a real  send off-at the gallows. But  Vic has a better idea, plotting a  course for an oasis in the Sahara . .  . where things are looking up. A  gorgeous captive princess mistakes Vic  for a genie-The Sky Devil-and if  he gets his wish, well, this Sky Devil  will certainly have his day. If  he lives to see it. . . .In  1933, when L. Ron Hubbard began  his professional writing career, he  entered a crowded and competitive  field. But he very quickly separated  from the pack, making a name for  himself as a writer who was both good  and fast. So good and fast, in  fact, that in 1935 the three stories  included in this volume were all  published in the same issue of an  all-fiction magazine. Fully a quarter  of the issue had been written by  Hubbard-though readers didn’t know  it, two of the stories appearing  under two different pseudonyms. Also  includes the  adventures Buckley Plays a Hunch, in which an adventurer  seeks to solve  the mystery of three castaways who refuse to be rescued,  and Medals for  Mahoney, the story of man who journeys into the heart  of darkness to  thwart a murderous conspiracy.
