Publisher's Summary:
Before Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark were even a gleam in Spielbergs eye, one intrepid pilot flew out of the sky in search of treasure... only to find a bit of hell on earth.
Captain Gordon lives like he flies - by the seat of his pants, taking on any job and all comers. Now hes bound for the forbidding mountains along the shores of the Arabian Sea, transporting a team of anthropologists on the trail of Alexander the Great. But ancient history is about to come to dangerous life with the discovery of a long-buried map - a map leading to high adventure, untold treasure, and cold-blooded murder...
Gordons headed deep into "The Tomb of the Ten Thousand Dead" - unearthing a secret that could bury him.
Not only was Hubbard steeped in the history of the ancient world, he was also an avid adventurer - both in his own right and as a respected member of the famed Explorers Club. As such, he brought a wealth of insight, experience and authenticity to all his tales of adventure.
Also includes two additional adventures: The Price of a Hat, in which the key to the Russian Czars life is hidden in a most unexpected place, and Starch and Stripes, the story of a US Marine who sets a trap for a tropical warlord that reverberates all the way back to Washington.

âAdventure Yarns By A Master Storyteller.â
âTomb of The Ten Thousand Deadâ was published in the October 1936 issue of THRILLING ADVENTURE. Pilot Captain Gordon finds himself among crazed scientists when they discover the lost treasure of Alexander The Great. Alone in a cavern with the thousands of dead soldiers left to guard the treasure when Alexander couldnât take it with him. All ready one man has been killed, and three more will kill to obtain the treasure.
âPrice of A Hatâ was an interesting tale told by Stuart as a group set at a card table, the discarded cards tossed into a strange hat called a kubanka. Stuart had been assigned to spy on Russia in 1917, and in Siberia he witnesses the murder of a Mongol rider. He chases the killers off, and the Mongol tells him to carry the hat to the Czar, and then dies. Stuart loses the hat and regains it several times before having an intelligence operator examine the hat. Hidden in the seams is a coded message warning Czar Nicholas II and his family that they are to be murdered if they donât flee to safety. The message was not delivered on time, and Czar Nicholas II and his family were murdered.
âStarch & Stripesâ is another yarn about marines training blacks in Africa to be soldiers. Gunnery Sergeant Eddie Edwards, wearing captain bars, is in charge of the local unit. He has set a trap for the local rebel leader, but before the trap can be sprung, Lt/Col Cramer arrives to order his men prepare for inspection. A top marine general and senators are coming for an inspection.
