About The Iron Duke (from the back cover):
He could hear the continuous murmur of voices inside and thought to himslef that the pair down there certainly had found enough to talk about. And he was envious too. Blacky Lee had all the luck. Blacky looked at exactly the right time. And of course women fell for it. The countess down there, however, didn't impress Stub as the kind of woman who would fall for anything-but the fact failed to hearten him. He always distrusted such women instinctively. They were too clever and too beautiful, and too intense.
The Countess Zita's appearance had been very unnerving to Stub. In the first place, her beauty had quite stunned him. In the second place, the vitality which flashed out of her tired him the instant he felt it. And in the third place, he had a premonition that the Countess Zita, young though she appeared to be, could think rings around any man alive, including the redoubtable Blacky Lee.

My Review:
This book was definitely not what I was expecting and that was probably a good thing. I had no idea that L. Ron Hubbard was a #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. This story was originally published in the July 1940 issue of Five-Novels Monthly.
While it was still not a genre I would read again, I was entertained with this quick easy read. I was surprised that it did captivate my attention. Because it is such a short novel, it is completely packed with adventure, comedy and entertainment from start to finish.
I really think that this book would be great for teenage boys and men who enjoy an action-packed short novel. It would definitely entertain them in the few short hours it takes to read the book!
