In 1937 L. Ron Hubbard wrote to one of his editors: You might have noticed that I am intensely wary of becoming any kind of a story specialist. I have sold the gamut of types: air war, air western, detective, love, terror. . . . My one passion is to build a name for variety. . . . I like my freedom. I fight hard for independent individualism. I love to tie into a yarn and make it blaze in print. Hubbards passion for writing, creativity and individualism certainly blazes across the page in stories like *Hurricane. ****
Once again Hubbard has written an exciting adventure that is part high-seas and part island drama. Library Journal
