Savages

Meet Hurricane Williams, a seafaring adventurer with a mysterious past and an uncertain future!

Awhite man who shuns his own people in favor of Tongan and Samoan natives, he’s the skipper of a speedy schooner known as the terror of the South Seas. Tanned and bearded, with steel-gray eyes and well-muscled frame, he is naturally taciturn but always has the aspect of a leopard about to spring. He’s accused of piracy, smuggling, blackbirding, and whisky- running, but nobody really knows exactly who or what Hurricane Williams is. Not even young Gilbert Lang, who befriends this enigmatic figure in the Solomon Islands while seeking vengeance against the villains responsible for his brother’s death. There’s action a-plenty in this rousing tale by Gordon Young, a mainstay of the “Dean of the Pulps,” Adventure.
