Falling into the hands of a bloodthirsty tribe led by the notorious slave trader known as Portuguese Joe, Sheridan discovers that theres not enough room on the island for the two of them. And Portuguese Joe has the perfect solution: dispatch Sheridan to another world . . . with the help of a firing squad.

But Sheridan has other plans. The island is home to a hidden fortune in goldand a gold miners beautiful daughterand he means to get his hands on both of them. If he can avoid the exotic dangers lurking at every turn . . .

By the age of eighteen Hubbard had already traveled via steamboat to the Far East and served as a helmsman on a twin-masted schooner off the coast of China. On those voyages he had the opportunity to explore and investigate life on the islands of the South Pacific. His insights into the people and culture gained on those journeys inform stories like Destinys Drum.

A Spine-Tingling Adventure

This exciting, and quite dramatic adventure takes place on the forgotten Indonesian island of Kamling. That right there is your first sign this story is going to be such a thrill, as mysterious settings tend to enliven the whole story.

Upon his arrival on the forgotten island, Phil Sheridan is taken hostage by warriors of a primitive cannibalistic tribe. The leader, a horrid man named Jose Emanuel Batista (nicknamed Portuguese Joe), known for his slave trafficker, murderer, being a con artist, and full on tyrant. Portuguese Joe knows all about Sheridan and his past, which is why his death is ordered by firing squad.

Sheridan knows he must act quickly, and ends up conning Portuguese Joe and makes his escape. While on the run through the jungle, Sheridan knows he must think even quicker if he wants to make it off the island alive. Meeting up with a man he use to know turned gold miner and his beautiful young daughter, and with the help of local headhunters, Sheridan must fight for his life, and for his head.

With the many twists and turns throughout this story, you will probably find yourself clenching to your seat, just as I did. Not only was the plot itself surprising and amazing, the audio was too outstanding. Ever time I closed my eyes, I felt as if I too were in that jungle of Kamling.

So if you are looking for a spine-tingling adventure, then I completely recommend Destiny's Drum.

Recently I've been listening to the Galaxy Audio releases of the old L. Ron Hubbard science-fiction stories from the days of the pulps, 30s-40s. As I would do the research and find out more about these writings I found that they are also releasing other genres of L. Ron Hubbard's multitude of fictional short stories and novellas. The other genres are; westerns, tales from the Orient, far flung adventure, air adventure, sea adventure, mystery and fantasy. I have read some of the fantasy and they were just as fun to read, or listen to, as in this case. So I decided to try another genre.
