"... the story, which first appeared in the May 1940 issue of Five-Novels Monthly , is primo pulp fiction, written in an urgent style (plenty of exclamation marks and short paragraphs); but it drives the reader through to the exciting--and surprisingly moving--conclusion." -Booklist, "... the story, which first appeared in the May 1940 issue of Five-Novels Monthly , is primo pulp fiction, written in an urgent style (plenty of exclamation marks and short paragraphs); but it drives the reader through to the exciting--and surprisingly moving--conclusion." --Booklist, "Hubbard's thoroughly researched adventure, inspired by the 1939 Winter War between Finland and Russia, was originally published in the May 1940 issue of Five Novels Monthly. As a testament to its historical worth, it was translated and reprinted 14 years later for distribution in the Nordic world….Hubbard's love of storytelling comes through clearly here, and though the protagonist's G.I. Joe-like Americanism may not appeal to all listeners, 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, "Hubbard's thoroughly researched adventure, inspired by the 1939 Winter War between Finland and Russia, was originally published in the May 1940 issue of Five Novels Monthly.

Duane, is an American fighting for the Democratic People's Government of Finland, only because he found himself in the country when the war started and knew he could make some money in their air force. After all he's been an air ace for several wars. When David Duane goes after a group of Russian Bombers he sees a city in the clouds. This city turns out to be the mythical land of heroes, Puhjola. There he is reuinited with his other air team that have been shot down in this recent raid. Not only that but he meets up with buddies from previous wars who died in action, he also meets up with the Russians he shot down. When he apologizes for shooting them down, one of the Russians says "No big deal, it is war." The strange being that runs the city of Puhjola, tells Duane that was his last chance that no matter how many times he returns he cannot change his destiny. Duane is told that he will meet up with a Russian Woman and fall in love and then lose his life while trying to protect her, instead of saving the thousands of others he should be protecting. Duane says he can change it this time, just give him one more chance. The leader says no and tells him he can no longer return to Puhjola. Duane is determined to change his destiny, but when he wakes up his plane is buried in the snow and burning and Russian soldiers are beating him. He cannot recall his time in Puhjola, but something about his destiny is buzzing in his brain. He is then rescued by a female Russian intelligence officer and falls in love. But he knows he needs to change something. Can David Duane become a hero again and change his destiny or is his destiny unchangeable? As with all of L. Ron Hubbard pulp fiction stories not only is a dame involved, but you can expect twists and turns until the very end. - Books Gather

I would recommend this eBay Seller and their store.👍🏼 It was nice doing business with them. Thank you
- i***. (123)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéOverall, positive experience since seller made some effort to make things right. Seller did not pack this book well at all. Book arrived damaged due to insufficient packing (book was packed in a flimsy shipping bag). Was clearly creased on the spine despite "very good" description. Seller helped by giving me a partial refund. Still disappointed in the poor packing. Hopefully they learn to pack properly otherwise I won't be buying again from them.
