About this ebook

As brash and bold and daring as Steve McQueen, Lieutenant Lee Briscoe will never back away from a good cause or good fight. And when it comes to heroism, he and McQueen are in the same band of brothers.

Briscoe’s gone undercover to infiltrate a slave-labor camp on an island in Southeast Asia, knowing full well that once he goes in, he may never get out. Posing as a man on the run for murder, he may soon wish he had run in the opposite direction. His adversary on the island is Schwenk—a man who is not only a connoisseur of cruelty, but an expert at delivering it.

And for Briscoe, the stakes have just shot up. An innocent young woman has landed on the island and fallen into Schwenk’s clutches, sold to him to do with her as he pleases. Escape is the only option . . . or both Briscoe and the girl are sure to face a fate worse than death.

L. Ron Hubbard once wrote in his journal: “There must be wide spaces in which to think, strange music to hear, odd costumes to see and the elements to battle against. Money, nice cars, good food and a ‘good job’ mean nothing to me when compared to being able to possess the thought that there is a surprise over the horizon.” Venturing toward that horizon, at age seventeen Ron set sail for the South Pacific in July 1927, and after spending time getting to know the local natives, he signed aboard a working schooner bound for China’s coast. Along the way, Ron encountered many dangers lurking in the thick jungle mists—firsthand experience that contributed to stories like The Bold Dare All.

Author

L. Ron Hubbard

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring 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. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

    One of the reasons the great pulp writers like H.P. Lovecraft, Walter B. Gibson, Lester Dent and L. Ron Hubbard were so popular lie in their ability to create great characters and believable situations. Their storytelling talents are evident in the stories themselves and their popularity has never waned. I have to give Hubbard credit for his 1937 tale, The Bold Dare All, which takes off quickly and never relents. Lee Briscoe is a typical pulp hero thrust into a dangerous situation immediately only to find this quagmire complicated by the appearance of a woman. Now he’s forced to consider other options, which elevates the suspense. Brisco is undercover investigating a slave labor camp in southeast Asia when things heat up between him and Schwenk, the bad-guy in the story. When the lovely Diana Martin gets tangled in Schwenk’s deceitful web, Briscoe is forced to re-think his options. The romance is never a major part of Hubbard’s adventure stories, but it serves its purpose in The Bold Dare All, perhaps perfunctorily. The Bold Dare All is a fun and swift men’s adventure story.
