Theodore Roscoe's Toughest in the Legion

Borgo Pr

<p>The complete and dramatic story of how the U.S. Navy's "Silent Service" helped win the most extensive underseas war in history. This 'standard' in the study of submarine warfare. first published in 1949 and repeatedly reprinted, remains the basic primer for those interested in the U.S. Navy's submarine war against the Axis in World War II. Based on war patrol reports, action reports, and other wartime (then) classified information, the data for work was constructed by a team led by Rear Admiral R. G. Voge, USN, who captained the USS Sealion and the USS Sailfish.  The author wrote the book utilizing the compiled data with clearly extensive support from the U.S. Navy.  Enduring enough to be nicknamed 'SUBOPS', this well-regarded publication was commissioned by the Bureau of Naval Personnel and although not without error or fault, remains one of those books that are routinely listed as source material for almost any/all submarine works dealing with the Second World War.</p>

<p>Description by publisher D. Grant, Dec 1, 1981:D. Grant, Dec 1, 1981 - 192 pagesOne of the most popular and prolific authors of the "pulp" era was Theodore Roscoe, whose stories graced the pages of such fabled magazines as Adventure, Argosy, and Weird Tales. Indeed, many Roscoe stories in Argosy were accented by full color covers, and two such tales were "The Voodoo Express" and "The Wonderful Lips of Thibong Linh", which are joined in this volume with "On Account of a Woman". All three are imaginative, gripping tales -- as enjoyable today as they were some fifty years ago in those legendary pulps. An exotic blend of adventure, fantasy and surprise!</p>

An ancient château in Haiti is the scene of one of the most blood-curdling series of murders in the history of the island. Who was the murderer—man, beast or some supernatural being? An artist and his girlfriend attend her uncle's funeral on the island of Haiti, where they encounter the deep vein of Voodoo superstition. The legend of living souls trapped in dead bodies becomes a frightening reality as they witness a Zombie resurrection. The tale, by the well-traveled pulp fiction author Theodore Roscoe, captured his sense of awe and terror surrounding such a monster in the very place that would have given rise to it. His first-hand experience during his travels in Haiti taught him of such legends and he used them effectively in Murder on the Way! Thus, well before the Zombie came to represent today's flesh-eating cinematic monster of lore, Roscoe's story (published by the New York Dodge Publishing Company in 1935) unravels impossible shootings, inexplicable disappearances, and the stirrings of rebellion. These are the background elements for this most unforgettable weekend house-party in the heart of Zombie madness.
