There are all kinds of crazy, but there's only one Yukon Madness. And Royal Mountie Tommy McKenna--a role made for Canadian-born Glenn Ford--has seen first-hand the terror that follows in its wake . . . his partner murdered and fed to a pack of wolves. But that's only a taste of the horrors to come. Bent on revenge, McKenna sets out to find the madman himself--a monster who goes by the name Itauk. He quickly finds, however, that there's only one way to get to the beast--through the man's raven-haired beauty of a girlfriend, Raja. But whose side is Raja on? Can McKenna win her over? Or will he too end up dead meat? The bait has been cast, the scent has been taken, and the trap has been set. The only question is, who is the predator and who is the prey? Hubbard never wrote a word, conceived a character, or described a setting without first finding out all he could about the people and places that drove his stories. He wrote: "I began to search for research on the theory that if I could get a glimmering of anything lying beyond a certain horizon, I could go deep enough to find an excellent story. . . . I began to read exhaustively. . . . I wanted information and nothing else." His exhaustive research--and search for the excellent story comes through in this book three times over. Also includes the adventures The Cossack, which takes place in revolutionary Russia and explores the high price one man pays for refusing to kiss a Duchess, and The Small Boss of Nunaloha, the exotic story of a man who may be short, but who stands tall when it comes to defending his turf--an island in the Pacific.… (más)

The latest Galaxy Press release of L. Ron Hubbard's Stories from the Golden Age packs a triple punch. This edition includes not only 1935's "Yukon Madness" but "The Cossack" and "The Small Boss of Nunaloha." All three stories amply demonstrate Hubbard's natural flair for pacing. As I've mentioned in other reviews, Hubbard was a master of all genres and his pacing was often relentless. These are hardboiled classics. Hubbard's masculine prose nearly jumps from the page. I was particularly taken with "The Small Boss of Nunaloha" where Jim Lanridge is put through the ringer. These three stories have seldom, if ever, been reprinted since their original appearance and stand as shining examples on why Hubbard was so popular during his lifetime. These beautiful Galaxy Press editions are going far in reaffirming Hubbard's place as a Master American Storyteller. For those that prefer audio books you'll not be disappointed. Each audio book features a multicast performance with music and sound effects reminiscent of radio's golden age. ( )

This is a very enjoyable story, well performed with great sound effects!

Mr Hubbard's madman is fierce and creates intense suspense. You love to hate him and fear for the hero. ( )

"Yukon Madness" is an excellent pick for anyone who loves pulp fiction.

Itauk the Madman, stalking across the bitter wastes, squinting with slanted eyes over the backs of his twelve-wolf team, stared into the blackness toward the snarling flares of red and green and white which shot into the indigo winter sky -- the aurora borealis.
