Publisher's summary

“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 10 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 1 include: The Iron Duke, The Black Sultan (with: “Escape for Three”), The Trail of the Red Diamonds (with: “Hurricane’s Roar”), The Sky Devil (with: “Buckley Plays a Hunch” and “Medals for Mahoney”), Black Towers to Danger, and Forbidden Gold.

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.”

Book Descriptions:

The Iron Duke: Blacky Lee is a man wanted by nearly every government in Europe, who happens to be the spitting image of the Duke of Aldoria. With nowhere else to hide, he flees to Aldoria and attempts to make the most of his mistaken identity in a startling tale of intrigue, humor, and romance. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Michael Yurchak, Jim Meskimen, and Richard Ricco.

The Black Sultan: Eddie Moran is a fugitive on the run from the French Foreign Legion. When he saves the life of a deposed Berber ruler, Eddie finds himself in the middle of a war captured by the Black Sultan, usurper of the Berber’s throne. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Corey Burton, Christina Huntington, John Mariano, Phil Proctor, and Jim Meskimen.

The Trail of the Red Diamonds: Lieutenant Jonathan Daly sets out on a fateful expedition into the depths of China to unearth a fabulous fortune in red diamonds, leading him down a dark maze of betrayal, espionage, and death. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Tait Ruppert, Crispian Belfrage, Michael Yurchak, Shane Johnson, Robert Wu, and Jim Meskimen.

The Sky Devil: Vic Kennedy, a daring, yet desperate pilot who lands his plane at a Sahara oasis, must use his cunning—and his last few drops of fuel—to outwit a deadly opponent, deal with powerful magic, and free a beautiful, captive princess. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Yasmine Hanani, Corey Burton, Fred Tatasciore, Tait Ruppert, Jim Meskimen, John Mariano, and Michael Yurchak.

Black Towers to Danger: Bill Murphy is more than a match for everything the oil business can throw at him. Everything except for Marcia Stewart who is convinced he killed her father. Murphy is drilling down for the truth, and it’s his land, his love for Marcia—and his life—that are on the line. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Christina Huntington, Bob Caso, and Tait Ruppert.

Forbidden Gold: Daredevil pilot Kurt Reid’s millionaire grandfather’s will demands that he brave the jungles of the Yucatán and bring back a golden nugget matching one the deceased took decades before—or Kurt inherits nothing. Without options, Kurt plunges into a perilous journey, one that may kill him or reveal the love of his life. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Beth Leckbee, Bob Caso, Jim Meskimen, and Matt Scott.
