36048707-April_1935

Jimmy Christopher — known to a few as Operator 5 of the Secret Service — had forseen the dark day when oil, the black blood of commerce, would be exhausted.

While the forces of defense clamor loudly for oil; while the life of a nation is paralyzed for the lack of it, skilled saboteurs, insidious agents of the enemy wantonly destroy our small, precious remaining store! What strategem — where the leaders of the nation are plunged in despair –can Jimmy Christopher evolve to save his native land from slavery and utter doom?

The Green Death Mists

36048288-November_1934

In a small circular room, a Mongol in a scarlet silken robe shoved the knife of an electrical switch; a thousand miles away, a terrific storm swept the sky, changed all colors in a grotesque parody of reality, left thousands of men and beasts gasping, screaming, dying for want of oxygen which had been conjured out of the atmosphere. The Mongol Emperor had struck again!

Prophet to a hundred peoples, descendant of the cruel pillagers of the East, he beckoned to his countless hordes of faithful followers, offering them America as a prize if they were bold enough to take it!…

With the death bells tolling mournfully in every church belfry, with Operator 5’s beloved countrymen, men, women, and children choking to death like hogs with cholera–how can America’s famous undercover ace deliver his native land from the demoniacal power of the son of Genghis Khan?

Can Operator 5 save the President’s son from a chilling demise? Will he find this frozen fortress and end the havoc it seeks to spread?
