While Bugles Blow!

He's a handsome American Lieutenant in the French Foreign Legion. She's a beautiful woman who's as fiery as the North African sun . . . and as mysterious as the far side of the moon. And she's all his-bought and paid for in the village square. Put them together-Cary Grant and Hedy Lamarr-and you're sure to get fireworks. The only reason the Lieutenant bought her was to free her from the slave trade. But now that he's got her, he's got trouble. Two violent native tribes are determined to get their hands on the woman . . . even if it means unleashing an all-out war. The warriors lay siege to the outpost-3000 of them versus 60 Legionnaires within. Can the Lieutenant hold the fort against the onslaught? And how long can he fend off the powerful feelings he has for the woman in his care? And, finally, does he have any idea of the secret in her past that could change everything? On the subject of North Africa, Hubbard said that writers too often "forget a great deal of the languorous quality which made the Arabian Nights so pleasing. Jewels, beautiful women, towering cities filled with mysterious shadows, sultans equally handy with robes of honor and the beheading sword." Hubbard brings this unique insight to his stories of North Africa and the Legionnaires, investing them with an authenticity of time, place and character that will keep you asking for more.

About the Author :
With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

Review :
"a series not to be missed by any true pulp-fiction fan." Comics Buyers Guide" "Crossing multiple genres, the stories are jam-packed with vibrant plot elements and typically center on a homegrown American hero, a parade of multiethnic villains straight out of central casting, and the requisite damsel in distress or femme fatale." Library Journal" "Each of these of these outstanding audio books are two hour productions characterized by talented multi-cast performances, which are enhanced with impressive special effects and thematic music. Flawless technical recordings, each and every one of these very special audio books provides the listener with a true 'theatre of the mind' experience and is enthusiastically recommended." Midwest Book Review" "L. Ron Hubbard was a master storyteller and a major literary figure in the 'Golden Age' of pulp magazine publishing.... A master author in all of the diverse and varied action-adventure genres, these three newly reprinted titles will be especially welcome by those already familiar with Hubbard's work -- and serve as an admirable and highly recommended introduction for those new to the 'Golden Age' of pulp magazine fiction!" The Midwest Book Review" Hubbard wrote adventure, westerns, thrillers, and crime-espionage as well as sf and they reveal both the range and quality of the author s work . Even a sampling of Galaxy s catalog makes it clear that pulp-fiction devotees need to put Hubbard s works on their must-read lists. Booklist" "Hubbard wrote adventure, westerns, thrillers, and crime-espionage as well as sf--and they reveal both the range and quality of the author's work....

In their continuing effort to produce some 200 of Hubbard s golden age stories, Galaxy Audio is releasing While Bugles Blow. This is another of Hubbard s far-flung adventures featuring battles in far off places, a dashing young soldier, and a damsel in distress (or is she?). "Here we find a small detachment of the French Foreign Legion, along with a young American Lieutenant, at an outpost deep within Berber territory. There is a largely peaceful existence between the soldiers and the locals, but it is an uneasy peace that hangs by a thread. It would take but a mere push in one direction or the other to topple the truce and begin an all out war. That mere push comes in the form of a beautiful Jeppa woman who is captured and sold into slavery. When the American lieutenant rescues the woman and brings her into the outpost, the balance is upset and the battle is on. In what feels like the last stand of the Alamo, a small handful of Legionairres must hold the fort against a couple thousand frenzied Berbers. "As with all of the stories from Galaxy Audio s Golden Age Stories collection, "While Bugles Blow" is complete with stunning cinema-quality music and sound effects, as well as a fantastic cast of voice actors. The cast includes the voice talents of Jim Mexkimen, R F Daley, Richard Rocco, Christina Huntington, and Phil Proctor."
