Hurricane (Stories from the Golden Age)

In The Great Escape and Papillon, Steve McQueen embodied the tough guy on the run. But when it comes to toughness, McQueen is following in the footsteps of Captain Spar. Wrongfully accused, Spar has been condemned to Devil’s Island. But now, escaping, he’s out to kill the man who put him there.  A storm is brewing, but even in the face of natural disaster, Spar discovers that nothing is more dangerous than human nature.

In 1937 L. Ron Hubbard wrote to one of his editors: “You might have noticed that I am intensely wary of becoming any kind of a story specialist. I have sold the gamut of types: air war, air, western, detective, love, terror. . . . My one passion is to build a name for variety. . . . I like my freedom. I fight hard for independent individualism. I love to tie into a yarn and make it blaze in print.” Hubbard’s passion for writing, creativity and individualism certainly blazes across the page in stories like Hurricane.

“Hurricane will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end as it unfolds.”—Mommy’s Favorite Things
