Publisher's Summary:
Bat Conroy - cut him and he'd bleed ink, he's a born newspaperman. Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Eric Sevareid - the greatest American journalists of the 20th century all made their names as war correspondents, but none of them would have beat out Bat Conroy to a good story.
Which makes it that much more mystifying - and aggravating - when an unknown writer, filing under the byline Perry Lane, scoops Bat on every story that comes along. Bat's always been the go-to reporter covering the Japanese invasion of Chinauntil this Perry Lane person came along to steal his thunder and maybe even his job.
Now, the biggest story of the war is about to hit the fan, and Bat's going to get to the source first if it kills him. But the most shocking news of all is the true identity of the elusive Perry Lane.
As a young man, Hubbard visited Manchuria, where his closest friend headed up British intelligence in northern China. Hubbard gained a unique insight into the intelligence operations and spy-craft in the region as well as the hostile political climate between China and Japan - a knowledge that informs stories like Inky Odds.

Five Stars
A wonderful pulp adventure with a splash of romance. I visualized as a 1930's RKO movie in my head.
Adventure At Its Best
âAdventure At Its Best.â
With the Japanese and Chinese battling at many fronts in China, war correspondent, Bat Conroy of WORLD PRESS is suddenly being beat to the big stories by a mysterious reporter named Perry Lane from International Service. Added to his problems, the beautiful, and rich, Gwen Fairington is looking for her missing husband, Bill Fairington. Heâs been located in the besieged area of Fu-Chiang, doctoring locals for cholera. Bat must get Gwen and her aunt to the missing man, even if he has to crash through Chinese and Japanese armies, and try to beat Perry Lane to the biggest story yet.
Adventure at its best, and I didnât want the story to end. L. Ron Hubbard was a master storyteller. Originally published in the June 1940 issue of FIVE-NOVELS Monthly, this is one of his many stories set in China during the Japanese Invasion, and featured some of his best yarns. Highly recommended.
driven to win in war torn Asia
The publication of "Golden Age Stories" has revived the world of pulp fiction, which features the works of L. Ron Hubbard. One of the most prolific writers during the "pulps" heyday of the 1930's and 1940's, Hubbard wrote on a myriad of subjects in many genres. One of his spirited tales, "Inky Odds" was originally published in the 1940 issue of "Five-Novels Monthly."
In this contentious pulp fiction, Bat Conroy of the World Press, the best news correspondent covering the Japanese Invasion of China, faces fierce competition from the unknown Perry Lane of the World Press. The rub here is that no matter how fast Bat finishes and files his war stories, Perry somehow beats him to the finish line.
