Burns Bannion #8: “Kill Me In Yokosuka” by Earl Norman
(Norman Thompson). This one is really far out. Hedges invites Bannion and Ezawa
to a Geisha wingding, and it’s for the purpose of getting them involved in the
current case. Something is going on that concerns the military installations
around Tokyo. Bannion meets sexy Oyuki, a geisha dancer, and she stays with him
throughout the case. The Chinese villain, Original Fu, who supposedly died in a
previous story, is back, but he’s working for a mysterious person in the
shadows. They plan on disrupting the Naval Base in Yokosuka, which will cause
havoc within the 7th Fleet. Not much in the karate fights this time,
but Bannion bungles his way to the finish. There is plenty of action, however. Ezawa
goes undercover, using a disguise. A pit of scorpions, a gorilla – Bannion does
use karate on the beast. He also swings through the trees, and does a Johnny Weissmuller
Tarzan yell. Far out (lol). Lots of fun.
