This Foreign Legion tale from Bob Du Soe (Robert Coleman DuSoe) appeared in the February 1934 issue of Thrilling Adventures. I find the work of Du Soe to be really straight forward with not much effort spent on extensive character development or plot background--always direct to to action. This story, set in French Tonkin, is full of standard pulp elements such as a golden idol stashed away in a destroyed temple (the loot) with a precious map needed to find it again, a multiple murder mystery to solve and plenty of action leading to a final battle and revenge. Standard fare, but I found it interesting that Du Soe gave the American Legionnaire a wooden hand…where have I heard about that before? Mon Legionnaire: link |
