Publisher's Summary

One of the most popular heroes of the 1960s returns in his first ever full-length novel. Super-spy and master of disguises Miles Drake, aka Captain Action, investigates the Riddle of the Glowing Men.

Foreign assassins are sent to kill Captain Action, and though he manages to defeat them, it is their lifeless bodies that pose the greater mystery as they give off a green, glowing radiation. Teamed with a beautiful and seductive Russian Agent, Captain Action travels to the barren, frozen wastelands of Siberia where the secret behind the glowing men lies buried in a fantastic lost underground world. It is a secret also pursued by his most dangerous nemesis, the alien-born Dr. Evil.

What is this strange power hidden beneath the Earth that could destroy all of mankind, and who will unlock its mysteries first?

Riddle of the Glowing Men is a classic pulp thriller packed with enough intrigue, daring escapes, and breakneck adventure to fill a dozen books. Featuring a stunning cover by artist Nick Runge, it presents a well-loved hero to a new audience eager to experience his special brand of two-fisted battling - Captain Action style!

Disappointed with the narration

I was looking forward to listening to this book, being a fan of Captain Action, but was very disappointed in the narration. Fred Wolinsky was ok doing some of the voices, but his narration left me out of the story, he dragged out the end word of every sentence, so it ended up that was what I was listening for, to see how far he could stretch his last wooooord. I saw that the other Captain Action novel was also narrated by him, so I removed it from my wish list, and will read it myself. Thankfully, the other novel is narrated by someone different.
I have yet to finish the story, but may just end up skipping it and purchasing the book on kindle to read.
Sorry, but when you purchase an audio book, the performance should be of a higher standard than if you downloaded a public domain story from, say, Librivox, which are all volunteers.
Very disappointed indeed, and will not purchase anything narrated by this person.
