Anderson, ". . . the adventure ones are just so much fun, that you wish there were more things written like them." --Kevin J. Anderson, "Two novellas, first published in the magazine Five-Novels (in 1940 and 1947 respectively), reiterate the case for Hubbard as one of the great pulp writers, with colorful prose, lively action writing, exotic locales, fresh variations on standard characters and situations, and well-constructed plots. In Iron Duke , Blacky Lee, fleeing the Nazis with his less adventurous sidekick, impersonates the archduke of a Balkan country coveted by the Communists. Both find romance along with derring-do. As with other Hubbard volumes from this publisher, the packaging (including bright cover art, interior illustrations, glossary, and added information on the author) is excellent." -Ellery Queen, "Two novellas, first published in the magazine Five-Novels (in 1940 and 1947 respectively), reiterate the case for Hubbard as one of the great pulp writers, with colorful prose, lively action writing, exotic locales, fresh variations on standard characters and situations, and well-constructed plots.
