Captivating new worlds. Once there had been a single government of Earth controlled by the western races, but the long-oppressed people of Asia finally struck back with a "cohesion projector." In an instant, the device established a solid, invisible wall of space-creating a dividing line between the superpowers, with the Asiatic Federation inside and the United Continents outside.
Both powers are tenuously perched on the brink of war until George Marquis Lorrilard comes along. A sometime lieutenant of the pitiful handful of space guards known as the United Continents Space Navy, he's used the experience to become a space exploiter. Far less driven by altruism than by the ferocious thirst and hunger of greed, Lorrilard sets a course to change forever the fate of Earth and the stars. ALSO INCLUDES THE SCIENCE FICTION STORIES "FINAL ENEMY" AND "THE AUTOMAGIC HORSE"
"A wonderfully rich and textured experience, complete with realistic sound effects and moody atmospheric music." -Publishers Weekly Listen Up Award winner for 2008
Before Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark were even a gleam in Spielberg’s eye, one intrepid pilot flew out of the sky in search of treasure . . . only to find a bit of hell on earth.
Captain Gordon lives like he flies-by the seat of his pants, taking on any job and all comers. Now he’s bound for the forbidding mountains along the shores of the Arabian Sea, transporting a team of anthropologists on the trail of Alexander the Great. But ancient history is about to come to dangerous life with the discovery of a long-buried map-a map leading to high adventure, untold treasure, and cold-blooded murder. . . .
Gordon’s headed deep into The Tomb of the Ten Thousand Dead-unearthing a secret that could bury him.
Not only was Hubbard steeped in the history of the ancient world, he was also an avid adventurer-both in his own right and as a respected member of the famed Explorers Club. As such, he brought a wealth of insight, experience and authenticity to all his tales of adventure.
Also includes two additional adventures: The Price of a Hat, in which the key to the Russian Czar’s life is hidden in a most unexpected place, and Starch and Stripes, the story of a U.S. Marine who sets a trap for a tropical warlord that reverberates all the way back to Washington.
"The title story in this trio . . . (all of them published in 1936) has a very strong Indiana Jones feel to it, even though it predates Indy by nearly five decades."

"Tight plotting, furious action and have at'em entertainment." Kirkus Review
An historical adventure that sweeps across the rugged Nortwest.

Experience a panoramic journey across the pages of American history in this thrilling story of a proud, courageous man pushed to the limits of endurance, and of a country on the threshold of a bloody conflict that will change it forever.
"Mr. Hubbard has reversed a time-honored formula and has given a thriller to which, at the end of every chapter or so, another paleface bites the dust... [has] an enthusiasm, even a freshness and sparkle, decidedly rare in this type of romance." —New York Times

"An adventure story written in the great style adventures should be written in." -Clive Cussler

In the heart of France a crack unit of British soldiers survive, overcoming all opposition under the leadership of a hardened military strategist highly trained in every method of combat and known only as "The Lieutenant".

""Compelling . . . riveting . . . Hubbard's best." -Publishers Weekly
Bob Sherman has a strength of character and purpose that would make Spencer Tracy proud. But signing on to the crew of the yacht Bonito, he’ll need every ounce of his strength and courage to overcome the forces arrayed against him - in Sea Fangs.
He’ll take on the forces of nature - a hurricane smashing into the boat off the Venezuelan coast. He’ll stand up to the forces of ignorance - Bonito’s incompetent captain. He’ll defy the forces of corruption - the boat’s owner, who stripped him of his land years ago. And he’ll fight the forces of evil - a ruthless band of pirates who take all aboard, including the owner’s daughter, to the uncharted Island of Death.
His fate intertwined with a woman whose father stole everything he valued, Sherman is about to discover that there’s one force as powerful, unpredictable and dangerous as the sea itself . . . the force of a beautiful woman’s love.
Hubbard had vast experience at sea. By the time he’d written this story, he had traveled twice to China on Naval vessels, had signed on a twin-masted schooner plying the Chinese coast, and had organized a five-thousand mile expedition aboard a four-masted schooner. He had first-hand experience of the violence of the sea - and of the men who ply it - as he depicts in Sea Fangs.
"The cast brings alive romance, bravado, menace, and the thrill of escape." --AudioFile

"A classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror... one of the really, really good ones." -Stephen King
Take the law into your own hands, and you risk losing your grip on everything else- including your life. Lee Weston- a young Paul Newman with a Colt revolver at his hip- is as good-looking as he is quick tempered, and he’s got a lot to be angry about.
His father murdered, his family ranch torched, he goes gunning for Harvey Dodge- the man who he’s convinced is the killer- and it’s Lee who ends up on the wrong side of the law. Shot in a gunfight, on the run and running out of time, he holes up in a mountain hideout and waits for death to come find him.
But he wakes up in the arms of a beautiful woman who has beat death to his door and nursed him back to life. She’s the first and only woman he has ever fallen for, and her name is Ellen Dodge- Harvey’s daughter. Can a great loss lead to a great love? Can the search for revenge lead to redemption? The answers lie in the wild heart of the Wild West- in Branded Outlaw.
L. Ron Hubbard was so prolific, and his stories so much in demand, he occasionally had to publish under a pseudonym to ensure that his name wouldn’t appear twice in a single issue of a magazine. Thus did Branded Outlaw originally appear as being written by a writer named Barry Randolph. But as is clear from the action and authenticity of the story, it was Hubbard behind the curtain pulling the levers. This is one of sixteen westerns Hubbard wrote in 1938- all influenced by a foray into New Mexico to round out his research. His unsurpassed knowledge of the West originated in his years growing up- and riding on- the range.
This is yet another superb production, in which you’ll be ducking bullets and hiding behind rocks to get your next shot in. - Gather.com
Detective Terry Lane is a standout homicide cop who thought he’d seen it all . . . until now.
As tough as Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness of The Untouchables-and just as incorruptible-Lane has seen the darkest side of human behavior. But he’s never seen a murder spree like this, targeting the wealthy, the powerful and the privileged. For the evidence is clear: the killers have not emerged from the seamy underside of the city . . . but from six feet under it. They are the walking dead, spreading terror and showing no mercy.
Following a trail of drugs, blackmail, and the twisted clues of a seductive nightclub singer, Detective Lane will have to think outside the box or he could end up inside one, buried alive.
In 1934, while living in New York, the heart of the publishing industry, Hubbard struck up a friendship with the city’s medical examiner-a relationship that started his education in undetectable crime and provided him with authoritative clinical background for his detective stories.
"A rollicking horror yarn [that] taps into the current craze for zombies. . . . heart-pounding." -Publishers Weekly
