American pilot Mike Malloy has been unjustly sentenced to five years in a Moroccan penal battalion - which is French for death sentence. But Malloy, who could easily pass for Douglas Fairbanks, is about to get a reprieve ... if he's willing to fly into the heart of the Sahara and into the teeth of a Berber rebellion. The expedition could have unexpected benefits. One of his passengers is a young woman whose eyes are as beautiful and blue as the wild blue yonder... Hubbard once 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 ... these things still exist, undimmed, losing no luster to the permeating Occidental flavor which reaches even the far corners of the earth today.'' 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 kept his readers asking for more.

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 325 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed 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.
