About this listen
Timeless themes of courage and danger, leadership and honor, along with the bare-knuckle struggle between right and wrong are the hallmark of L. Ron Hubbard’s military and war adventures. Experience the action in these tales set against historical backgrounds as the characters face relentless adversaries and overwhelming odds.
This 5-audiobook collection includes 9 short stories for 10 hours of immersive entertainment. All audiobooks are unabridged, full-cast productions with cinematic quality sound effects that bring the stories and characters to vivid life.
Titles and short stories in the Military & War Short Stories Collection Vol 2 include: The Phantom Patrol, The Falcon Killer, Hellʼs Legionnaire (with: “The Barbarians” and “The Squad That Never Came Back”), Red Death Over China (includes: “The Crate Killer” and “Wings Over Ethiopia”), and While Bugles Blow!
You will love this collection because, as Publishers Weekly describes, “Hubbard’s stunning writing ability and creative imagination set him apart as one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th Century.” And Antique Trader acclaims that “Hubbard paints his scenes with strong images that put the reader right into the action.”
Book Descriptions:
The Phantom Patrol: Coast Guard Officer Johnny Trescott is caught in a deadly sea adventure when a drug runner captures his ship, and uses it and Johnny’s uniform to raid ships and traffic drugs. When authorities arrest Johnny and throw him in jail, he must escape and bring the cutthroat to justice—or face the gallows himself. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Shane Johnson, Jim Meskimen, Kristin Proctor, Michael Yurchak, Phil Proctor, and Thomas Silcott.
The Falcon Killer: The city of Nencheng is in flames, China’s only hope against the Japanese falls from the sky—their ace fighter pilot, Bill Gaylord, “The Falcon Killer.” He parachutes into the arms of the one woman who gives him a reason to live—and rejoin the fight against Japan. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Christina Huntington, Jim Meskimen, Chris Emerson, Mark Silverman, and Robert Wu.
Hellʼs Legionnaire: American Dusty Colton flees the French Foreign Legion only to rush headlong into a Berber tribal lair. Despite his long odds of solo escape, he can’t leave a captive American woman behind and must find a way for both of them to outrun the Berber tribe and the Foreign Legion. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Phil Proctor, Gino Montesinos, Brooke Bloom, Michael Yurchak, Jim Meskimen, and Enn Reitel.
Red Death Over China: A breathtaking tale set against the backdrop of China’s civil war. On one side is Chiang Kai-shek and, on the other, the army of Mao Tse-tung. An immense and deciding battle is about to take place, and its outcome oddly lies in the hands of soldier of fortune and pilot John Hampton. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Robert Wu, Chris Emerson, Jim Meskimen, Thomas Silcott, Max Williams, and Tamra Meskimen.
While Bugles Blow!: An American in the French Foreign Legion is caught in the middle of an ancient feud between two tribes in the Moroccan city of Harj. When a gorgeous woman finds herself drawn dangerously into the midst of the conflict, the Lieutenant does what any man must—he saves her … igniting a war. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Christina Huntington, Jim Meskimen, Phil Proctor, and Rick Pasqualone.

Story
“Adventure,” L. Ron Hubbard said, “I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.” In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.

Critic reviews
“Hubbard’s love of storytelling comes through clearly here, G.I. Joe-like Americanism and the sound effects—e.g. the ‘clanking and wheezing’ of bomber engines revving up for an impending suicide mission—greatly enhance the weight of this thoughtful tale.”—Library Journal
“Riveting cliff-hanger action.”—Midwest Book Review
“Fast-paced adventure stories, with the aid of phenomenal sound effects and a strong supporting cast.”—PW

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
