He's a handsome American Lieutenant in the French Foreign Legion. She's a beautiful woman who's as fiery as the North African sun . . . and as mysterious as the far side of the moon. And she's all his-bought and paid for in the village square. Put them together-Cary Grant and Hedy Lamarr-and you're sure to get fireworks. The only reason the Lieutenant bought her was to free her from the slave trade. But now that he's got her, he's got trouble. Two violent native tribes are determined to get their hands on the woman . . . even if it means unleashing an all-out war. The warriors lay siege to the outpost-3000 of them versus 60 Legionnaires within. Can the Lieutenant hold the fort against the onslaught? And how long can he fend off the powerful feelings he has for the woman in his care? And, finally, does he have any idea of the secret in her past that could change everything? On the subject of North Africa, Hubbard said that writers too often "forget a great deal of the languorous quality which made the Arabian Nights so pleasing. Jewels, beautiful women, towering cities filled with mysterious shadows, sultans equally handy with robes of honor and the beheading sword." Hubbard brings this unique insight to his stories of North Africa and the Legionnaires, investing them with an authenticity of time, place and character that will keep you asking for more.

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.
"It s time for more action and adventure from one of the most
prolific writers of our time, L Ron Hubbard. In their continuing
effort to produce some 200 of Hubbard s golden age stories, Galaxy
Audio is releasing While Bugles Blow. This is another of Hubbard s
far-flung adventures featuring battles in far off places, a dashing
young soldier, and a damsel in distress (or is she?).
"Here we find a small detachment of the French Foreign Legion,
along with a young American Lieutenant, at an outpost deep within
Berber territory. There is a largely peaceful existence between the
soldiers and the locals, but it is an uneasy peace that hangs by a
thread. It would take but a mere push in one direction or the other
to topple the truce and begin an all out war. That mere push comes
in the form of a beautiful Jeppa woman who is captured and sold
into slavery. When the American lieutenant rescues the woman and
brings her into the outpost, the balance is upset and the battle is
on. In what feels like the last stand of the Alamo, a small handful
of Legionairres must hold the fort against a couple thousand
frenzied Berbers.
"As with all of the stories from Galaxy Audio s Golden Age Stories
collection, "While Bugles Blow" is complete with stunning
cinema-quality music and sound effects, as well as a fantastic cast
of voice actors. The cast includes the voice talents of Jim
Mexkimen, R F Daley, Richard Rocco, Christina Huntington, and Phil
Proctor." Audiobook Heaven"
