Action Adventure Short Stories Collection, Vol 2

De: L. Ron Hubbard

Narrado por: R.F. Daley

“Adventure,” L. Ron Hubbard said, “I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.” In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.

This 6-audiobook collection includes 7 short stories for 12 hours of immersive entertainment. All audiobooks are unabridged, full-cast productions with cinematic quality sound effects that bring the stories and characters to vivid life.

Titles and short stories in the Action Adventure Short Stories Collection Vol 2 include: The Bold Dare All, Destinyʼs Drum, Arctic Wings, The Devil—With Wings, Golden Hell (with: “The Pearl Pirate”), and Loot of the Shanung.

You will love this collection because, as Clive Cussler describes Mr. Hubbard’s writing, they are “written in the great style adventures should be written in.” And George Clayton Johnson, (author of Logan’s Run) calls it “On a par with Jack London, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Dashiell Hammett.”
