This March 15 issue of Adventure magazine contains diverse adventure fiction for male readers. The lead novelette, "Lost Legions" by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, depicts American and British military forces in post-WWI Siberia during the Russian civil war, focusing on Major Davies commanding an American infantry battalion in Vladivostok amid vastly larger Japanese and Czech contingents. The parade scene introduces intrigue and danger from Bolshevik elements while establishing romantic interest through a Russian girl.
The issue also features "Texas Man" (Part IV of a five-part novel) by William MacLeod Raine set in early Arizona; Frank Richardson Pierce's "Overtime" about a lighthouse keeper; Charles Tenney Jackson's "A Show for the Romans" involving prison camp boxing; and adventure tales by Raymond S. Spears, Tom Curry, and others. Contributors include Arain LeMay, Edward L. McKenna, and Noel Stearn.
