THE PERIL OF THE PACIFIC
By J. Allan Dunn Introduction by John Locke When J. Allan Dunn broke into the pulps in 1914, he drew upon his well-traveled past for inspiration. The Peril of the Pacific, a five-part serial from Street & Smith’s People’s magazine (July-November 1916), incorporates his experiences like no other story, taking for its settings the places in the west that Dunn knew best, San Francisco and California’s Central Coast. Reprinted for the first time since its original publication, Peril is a Japanese invasion epic. It’s the future history, set in 1920, of a war pitting a force of American irregulars against a relentless naval empire bent on conquest. In the Americans’ favor: iron will and a new generation of futuristic technology. At risk: the entire American west . . . and a beautiful young woman . . . 168 pages, $14 . . . Amazon |

THREE SOUTH SEAS NOVELS By J. Allan Dunn Introduction by John Locke Three early novels from legendary pulp writer, J. Allan Dunn, all South Seas sagas published in Adventure magazine, 1915-16. These are the stories that made Dunn one of the magazine’s marquee names. They are stories of modern-day buccaneers—who behave a lot like their olden-day counterparts—smoothly-plotted tales, with high adventure, exotic locations, perilous predicaments, motley collections of characters, understated violence and heavy romance—the epitome of pulp adventure of the era. Includes: The Island of the Dead (April 1915), Dunn’s rousing first novel; The Gold Lust (November 1915), which follows a treasure from the Sierras to an uncharted island hideaway; and its sequel, Beyond the Rim (July 1916), which cemented Dunn as one of Adventure readers’ favorite authors. 358 pages, $20 . . .
