I've read hundreds of stories, well over a thousand, probably over two thousand since I've been collecting it since Pulpcon number one in 1972. <br /><br />However, I have to admit that I have not yet read this issue. My favorite period is 1918-1926, when Arthur Sullivant Hoffman was editor and the magazine was at its' peak. I really believe ADVENTURE is in the running for the title of the greatest fiction magazine. And since I've done extensive reading in the slicks and literary magazines, I'm including them in this claim also.<br /><br />The Bedford Jones story blurb states "A novelette of the China Seas" and I see it stars a soldier of fortune by the name of James Doyle.
