Inky Odds de L. Ron Hubbard

Inky Odds: Stories from the Golden Age (Audio)

Autor L. Ron Hubbard Editat de R. F. Daley, Lori Jablons
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 31 mar 2009 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Bat Conroy cut him and he d bleed ink, he s a born newspaperman. Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Eric Sevareid the greatest American journalists of the 20th century all made their names as war correspondents, but none of them would have beat out Bat Conroy to a good story.
Which makes it that much more mystifying and aggravating when an unknown writer, filing under the byline Perry Lane, scoops Bat on every story that comes along. Bat s always been the go-to reporter covering the Japanese invasion of China . . . until this Perry Lane person came along to steal his thunder and maybe even his job.
Now, the biggest story of the war is about to hit the fan, and Bat s going to get to the source first if it kills him. But the most shocking news of all is the true identity of the elusive Perry Lane.
As a young man, Hubbard visited Manchuria, where his closest friend headed up British intelligence in northern China. Hubbard gained a unique insight into the intelligence operations and spy-craft in the region as well as the hostile political climate between China and Japan a knowledge that informs stories like Inky Odds."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
HE'S THE BEST WAR CORRESPONDENT IN CHINA. SO WHO KEEPS BEATING HIM TO THE STORY?

Bat Conroy of World Press lives for one thing: getting the story first. Covering the war in China, he follows battles, dodges bullets and files copy from places most reporters would never dare to go.

Then a rival named Perry Lane starts scooping him on story after story—even when Bat never sees the mysterious correspondent anywhere near the action.

Now Bat has been handed the biggest assignment yet. Americans trapped in the besieged city of Fu-Chiang are running out of food and fighting a cholera outbreak. Bat must take a battered riverboat up the Yangtze with medical supplies, cross active battle lines and bring help before it is too late.

But the farther he travels, the stranger the competition becomes. Perry Lane somehow knows what is happening aboard the boat almost as soon as Bat does. And a bold young stowaway who keeps changing her name seems to know far more about China—and Bat—than she should.

For Bat, the mission is becoming more than a scoop. He has lives to save, a reputation to defend and a rival he is determined to unmask.

Blending wartime danger with sharp dialogue, humor and mystery, Inky Odds is fast-paced historical fiction and action adventure fiction built around a war correspondent racing through 1930s China for the story of his life.

“With some great humor and adventure … yet another story from L. Ron Hubbard that will amaze you with the depth of information. In fact with all the detail Hubbard throws into his stories you know, he had to have lived some aspect of the stories, and that’s what makes them so fun to hear as an audio book or read the printed page, the detail and depth.” —Gil Wilson

Drawing on his broad knowledge of the world, its people and professions, L. Ron Hubbard created vivid historical adventures shaped by the places, technology and conflicts of their time.

Part of the L. Ron Hubbard Historical Fiction Collection—12 books featuring 17 classic stories—available in paperback, eBook and full-cast dramatized audiobook. If you enjoy the historical adventures of Jack London and Wilbur Smith, discover another master storyteller of historical fiction.

Notă biografică

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 230 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.
