Nine men with guts could dare to desert the French Foreign Legion - but how many could make it to safety through the barrage of hostile Spanish bullets?; ** "Nightmare Town" by Dashiell Hammett.; ARTICLES - ** "The Legion's Last Battle" by Don Forst. Ever since its inception, the foreign legion's name has stood for gallantry, glamour and death for a grand cause. Now, in a world ruled by the threat of nuclear war, what place is there for a band of men who fight on guts alone?; ** "The Space-Age Lancers" Take a seven-goal polo player with the sharpshooting eye of an expert hunter, the steel nerves of a trapeze artist, a taste for adventure and a low of sun, sand and fine horseflesh and you've got a good candidate for.; ** "Fabulous Flying Ghosts" For Cole Palen, no Thunder jet or Boeing 707 can compare in thrills with the Nieuports and Spads of World War I. He takes his aerial adventures straight and simple, reliving the days when the pilot really was in charge!; ** "Houseboat on Wheels" by Joe H. Wherry. This cross between a mobile home and a houseboat has retractable pontoons and fits comfortably in the back of a pickup truck.; ** "Pep Pills - Death Drugs on our Highways" by Reese Cleghorn. Here's a simple prescription for a fatal highway accident: add one 'Benny' to one truck driver, mix well with some poor slob coming the other way, then sit back and watch the fun.; ** "Did We Beat the Reds on Venus?" by Sherwood King. A fast-talking inventor, a Venusian prince and his curvaceous associate, 'a magnetic flux modulator' and thousands of other people's dollars - all these add up to the fantastic story of Harold J. Berney, who's either the sharpest con man this side of Saturn of the world's first interplanetary traveler.; ** "Howling Mad Smith" by Paul Ditzel, art by John McDermott. 'It's going to be my Marine riflemen who must go in there and dig those little yellow rats out of their caves and pill boxes,' the General told the secretary of the Navy.; ** "Never Fly with Elephants" by Frans A. M. Wilbers as told to Douglas J. Ingells, art by Morton Kunstler. There he was, ten thousand feet above the North Atlantic, surrounded by screaming, snarling, chattering wild animals, with only a half-undressed beauty and a few cabbages between him and disaster!.; ** "You Can Win at the Daily Double" by Leo Guild. Winning the double is the dream of every horse player who wants to get rich quick. There must be a different system for every rail bird you can find, and most of them are about as sound as Arpeggio spray mist. Here are some pet theories you can try out - with your own cash.; ** "Paradise for Pennies" by John S. Walsh.; ** "Drake and Gander Guns" by Pete Kuhlhoff. If you've been blasting holes in the air with no results other than the sight of a duck's south end rapidly disappearing over the horizon, the answer may well be in the equipment you use.; "The Art of Sharing a family Car" by Franklin E. Brill, art by Henry Syverson. Bombarded from the rear by jelly sandwiches. Playful puppy paws and the helpful driving tips of his favorite female, what Mr. Motorist needs most is a quick course.; FICTION - ** "Windjammer" by Dion Henderson, art by Jack Dumas. He was the greatest retriever in history, that sad-eyed hound. But I was a hunter - not a receiver of stolen goods.; ** "Stalemate" by Arthur Porges, art by Robert Schulz. The colt was there, ready to fire. Who would get to it first - the German of the GI?.; FEATURES - ** "It's in the Cards" by Alfred Sheinwold. *** Book Order # ADV142-1; Condition= VG/FN (5.0) = VERY GOOD to FINE; (Above Average Used Condition) minor pen writing on title page Price=US$20.00);.
