Captain Hawklin and the Skyhook Pirates by Charles F. Millhouse

And he reveals why the general wants the map to the city. There Zane reveals the map the general has is a fake, and he has the original.

But Zane’s men get the drop on them, and so they, along with Juno and Hawklin head to Zane’s ship. Things go awray, and the general heads off with the map, leaving his men to kill everyone else. And who has the map? Zane Carrington, whom Hawklin has encountered in some past adventures. A South American gangster is behind the game. He’s competing against an Arab prince, an agent of Soviet Russia, and a Nazi general. Hawklin is forced into a card game to play for the map. What is this all about? Finding a lost Mayan city in South America, a bit away from the Yucatan. She was introduced in Jade Dragon and hasn’t been seen since. This time, Hawklin finds himself kidnapped and taken to Columbia, and his half sister, Juno Li, is involved with it, if relunctently. He is assisted by Hardy Regan Miller and Oscar (Oz) Lyman, but neither appear in this one. To me, he is more like the aviation pulp adventurers like Bill Barnes than Doc Savage. He lives and works in Crown City, located on the west coast of the United States. I would recommend that you have read at least The Jade Dragon, as you’ll understand soon.Īs I’ve noted, Captain Steven Hawklin was a World War I fighter pilot, now an inventor and adventurer, rich from his inventions.

Published in 2020, it is set in March 1936, just after Lost Land. Millhouse, a few months back, and recently got the latest novel, the eighth: Captain Hawklin and the Ghost Army. I had worked through the Captain Hawklin adventures, a New Pulp hero written by Charles F.
