Port Orient
by Dan Cushman. Mr. Leeper from San Francisco loves tea. One
day his purchase of tea turns out to contain a bag full of diamonds, which is
good because the tea taste awful. A hidden message also mentions millions of
dollars in gold, but it’s hidden somewhere in Thailand or China. Quitting his
job, and leaving his unloving family, Mr. Leeper heads for Bangkok to pursue
the gold, but he has to make contact with someone mentioned in the message.
This leads to problems, as it seems others want the gold. Teaming up with two
men and a woman, the plans are to reestablish an air route to and from China,
hauling equipment and merchandise to and fro from Red China. For the air routs
is where the hidden gold is located. A little shorter than usual, but still a
lot of fun.
Earl Norman
The Earl Norman books are becoming extremely rare, and publishers don’t seem to be interested in reprinting the series. The only way some of us may ever have all the stories is for collectors to scan and type the stories into PDF to swap with other collectors. I have already completed PDFs of HANG ME IN HONG KONG and KILL ME IN ROPPONGI. I am working on KILL ME IN YOKOSUKA. If other collectors would do the same for some of the other books, we could eventually have PDFs of all ten books. Why not help? I can be contacted at fadingshadows40@gmail.com
