The pulp magazine, Adventure, first appeared in 1910 and soon became renowned for its fiction, written by the top authors of the day, later dubbed by Time magazine, the "No. 1 Pulp." With The Best of Adventure, listeners are able to listen to these classic stories for the first time. Our second offering is "A Secret Society." Talbot Mundy was perhaps Adventure's most popular author, and his character, James Schuyler Grim—better known as Jimgrim—was one of his most enduring heroes. Mundy claimed that Jimgrim was based on a man he knew in the Middle East, who had followed Lawrence of Arabia. "A Secret Society" finds Jimgrim and his companions—Jeff Ramsden, Jeremy Ross and the Rajput, Narayan Singh—meeting up with millionaire Meldrum Strange to form an organization to take on international criminals. Their adventures kick off here, as they fight a sinister Egyptian secret society whose web of blackmail and murder spans the globe!
