There are all kinds of crazy, but there's only one Yukon Madness. And Royal Mountie Tommy McKenna has seen the terror that follows in its wake... his partner murdered and fed to a pack of wolves. Bent on revenge, McKenna sets out to find the madman who did it, and there's only one way to get him — through his girlfriend. But whose side is she on? The trap has been set. The question is, who is the predator and who is the prey? Listen to the howling of wolves and feel the icy chill of fear as the audio version of Yukon Madness answers the real call of the wild.

      Galaxy Press is devoted to the shorter works of L. Ron Hubbard, who was a prolific writer of pulp fiction before he founded Scientology. This collection from 1935 features three short potboilers set in the Yukon, White Russia, and the Hawaii-like Nunaloha, respectively. The cast and sound effects are wonderfully effective in bringing forth the characters and ambiance of each of the stories. Masts creak, huskies bark, guns bang. In addition, the villains are evil, the heroes good, but more complex than the listener might expect. The actors growl and rant and shriek with terror, and cry in pain and bitterness. These are skilled audio manifestations of MYSTERY ADVENTURERS, the magazine from which they spring. There are many more such short Hubbard classics to look forward to. D.R.W.

      Hubbard fans will welcome this collection of three Golden Age adventure tales: the over-the-top "Yukon Madness," the grim revenge drama "The Cossack," and the macho smackdown "The Small Boss of Nunaloha." Today's readers will best appreciate "The Cossack," in which Lt. Mertz Komroff contends with the imperious duchess of Novgrod. Shocking consequences follow when Komroff, who refuses to be unfaithful to his fiancée, rebuffs the duchess's advances. "Yukon Madness" features Itauk the Madman, who with his 12-wolf team delights in "spreading death with sharp steel and throwing the shattered bodies of men to his slavering team." Tommy McKenna of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in his effort to stop Itauk, turns to Kaja, Itauk's battered, half-white girlfriend, for more than help. Less successful is "The Small Boss of Nunaloha," an action tale about Jim Lanridge, a trading company representative who's obsessed with being top dog on the island of Nunaloha, no matter what.

      Originally published in "Mystery Adventures" (Aug. 1935), this title features a villain who feeds his victims to wolves. Listeners will feel embedded with Mountie Tommy McKenna in his chase for the killer. R.F. Daley, Jim Meskimen, Max Williams, and Christina Huntington do a great job with the narration, and the soundse.g., of McKenna dragging his gun by its muzzle through the snowadd a spectacular degree of realism. For anyone enjoying adventures. [Includes the stories "The Cossack" and "The Small Boss of Nunaloha."Ed.]
