"Stop the presses One hundred thousand dollar reward offered for
the return of George Harley Rockham "
That's more than enough to turn Shanghai newspaperman Jimmy Vance's
head. Throw in the gorgeous dame who's offering the
reward--Rockham's daughter Virginia--and he might lose his head
altogether. As fast-talking as Jimmy Stewart in "The Philadelphia
Story," Vance jumps at the chance . . . the money . . . and the
girl.
But as Jimmy quickly discovers, there are several billion reasons
to watch his back. Because that's how much Rockham is worth, and
there are some very hard cases out there willing to kill to
separate the old man from his money.
Next thing Jimmy knows, Virginia's tied to a chair, and he's got a
couple of guns pointed at his head. But it'll take more than a
little rope and a couple of firearms to keep this reporter down.
The truth is tied to the mysterious fate of a steamship named
"Shanung"--and what Jimmy finds could be the biggest story of his
life . . . if he lives to tell it.
In the issue of "Smashing Novels" where this story first appeared
the editor wrote: ""Loot of the Shanung "is a soul-stirring tale of
the China Sea, a story of modern piracy set in the Far East. L. Ron
Hubbard wrote it. He knows China. He has been there. He traveled
through the country and met the people and observed their customs.
"Smashing Novels" will have other stories from him--stories of
far-off places and little known people. "He knows of what he
writes.""

Spring has come to White Bear Landing--and so has the law, in the
firm hands of Royal Mounted policeman and pilot Bob Dixon. Dixon's
as gruff, tough and good-looking as Russell Crowe, and in this
outpost halfway between the arctic mines and civilization, he's
known for taking the law to extremes.More than once Dixon has meted
out his own brand of rough justice with hard fists and hot lead,
but now the tables have turned. The past has come back to haunt
him, he's been set up as a murder suspect, and a rogue's gallery of
enemies are lining up to settle old scores . . .Out on the icy
tundra, on the edge of the world, revenge can be cold--and brutal.
Dixon's only hope is to let the trust of a good friend and the love
of a good woman lead the way to true justice and redemption--on
"Arctic Wings."Hubbard never wrote a word, conceived a character,
or described a setting without first finding out all he could about
the people and places that drove his stories. He wrote: "I began to
search for research on the theory that if I could get a glimmering
of anything lying beyond a certain horizon, I could go deep enough
to find an excellent story. I read exhaustively. I wanted
information and nothing else." His exhaustive research--and search
for the "excellent "
How does one turn unassuming words into phrases that are beautiful,
effective, and memorable? Using examples from Churchill, Lincoln,
Dickens, Melville, and many others, this book examines the most
valuable rhetorical devices with amazing clarity.
