The Forbidden Land by Dan Cushman. Ray Blades had been in Africa too long, always looking
for that big stake so he could return to Manitoba, Canada with money in his
pockets. When a beautiful white woman mistakes him for someone else, he hires
out to take her to find her missing father and husband. Deep in the jungle a
madman is holding them prisoner. He is Herr Lutgow, a gorilla-sized man with
the strength to go with his appearance. Blades must enter the compound, rescue
the prisoners, and escape with them into the jungle, even if he has to kill
Lutgow first. This was another great adventure by Dan Cushman, even if it is
the same plot and characters, just different names and situations. Cushman
makes them come alive, and the characters are memorable regardless of their
names.
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
