Publisher's Summary:
The year is 1935. After a decade of fame as the Queen of the Serials, Hollywood actress Gloria Swann is dismayed to see her box-office numbers dwindling with each new production. Desperate to reclaim her popularity, she bankrolls her own film project - an over-the-top jungle adventure to be shot on location in the wilds of the Amazon rainforests of Brazil.
After the crew and cast arrive at their isolated destination, a series of accidents occurs, threatening the lives of several of the players. The main target of these unexplained mishaps is Swann's younger stunt double, Angela Morgan. She suspects there are evil forces lurking in the jungle that threaten their safety. Her only ally in this belief is veteran stunt coordinator Karl Braun. When Gloria Swann mysteriously disappears, Angela may be the only hope the Queen of Escapes has to survive.
Writer Curtis Fernlund's homage to the classic film serials of yesterday is a rousing, fast-paced adventure that speeds from one danger-filled cliffhanger to the next. Andy Fish captures all the fun in his gorgeous cover painting, packaged and designed by Rob Davis.

Great pulp adventure story
They say you canât judge a book by its cover, but I confess it was the cover of Curtis Fernlundâs The Queen of Escapes that sold me the book.
One hour after seeing the cover for the first time, the ebook was on my Kindle.
That same night, I happily sacrificed a few hours of sleep to read the first two chapters of the novel.
By that time, I was hooked.
Now, I need more.
Set in 1935, The Queen of Escapes drops us smack in the middle of a movie set, somewhere in the Amazon Jungle.
Action serial star Gloria Swann is not aging gracefully, and her long suffering stunt double, Angela Morgan, is first in line when it comes to taking the brunt of her tempers â and she has to risk her neck, too, in complicated action shots.
But thereâs something moving in the jungle, something that seems set on getting Gloriaâ and once again Angela is first in line when trouble comes.
The book is a fun, well-written adventure yarn â Fernlund handles both action and dialogue with verve, and the cast of characters is intriguing and well-drawn. The novel is fast but nothing seems rushed â itâs paced marvelously, and itâs very very good, old-style adventure fiction.
And talking about well-drawn characters â the cover by Andy Fish is gorgeous, and the black & white interior illustrations by James Lyle are equally excellent.
All in all a great book â great story, characters, artwork.
Airship 27 delivers the goods (again), and I canât recommend this fine book strongly enough.
Get it â it will be fun.
