DEATH’S

DEPUTY

First LEISURE BOOK printing: December, 1970

CONDITION:  GOOD or better; pages tanned with age.  No markings.

When people start to mysteriously die around him, fighter pilot Clayton McClean knows the deaths are somehow inexplicably linked to him in this unforgettable tour de force of action, suspense, mystery and the forbidding unknown.

Commentaries on line:

Fun little classic novel I picked up with the Premise that Death itself grants those who want some luck to be impervious to death and yet those around him drop like flies. Clay is a pilot for the Canadian Air Force, helping Britain fight off the Nazis and one day he nearly dies in a crash. However he miraculously is cured by a doctor and he falls in love with a stray by the name of Laura who he meets somewhere in a park in NYC. After a horrific plane crash where everyone else dies except him, he realizes this is more than coincidence.

As with Fear, Hubbard trolled me with an epic plot twist at the end.

A good, quick read.

{Note from me:  I listed this under "Fantasy" but one could argue that it is Science Fiction.  Maybe both.}
