The Lightning appears in an adventure involving a court trial, sentencing, and a rescue operation at sea involving a character named Jeremy and an unconscious sailor called Hawk. Stuart Taylor engages in action involving combat with wild cats and confrontations with mysterious adversaries in what appears to be a wizard's den. ZX-5 is featured in a spy story involving underground mines, with characters named Sam Carson, Wiley, and Samuel Carson searching for ancient Aztec treasure in the Metzac Caves and the lost city of Zunaca Valley.
When Sheena and her companion Bob rescue a fleeing stranger named Reginald Barrows from the jungle, they learn of his desperate escape from Sergeant Korilenko of the Foreign Legion—a brutal man accused of murdering Barrows' brother. As Korilenko pursues his quarry into Sheena's territory with violent intent, the jungle queen must protect her guest while confronting the ruthless soldier's plans for revenge. With danger closing in from all sides, Sheena faces a test of her authority and courage in her own domain.
When sabotage strikes the Army Air Division, Lightning must uncover the mysterious force behind a series of catastrophic plane crashes that have left everyone terrified to fly. Lightning gets caught in a fiery test flight that forces him to abandon his aircraft—and conceal his identity—but his investigation leads him to Voner, a supply room attendant with dangerous secrets and a mysterious paymaster pulling the strings. With General Larkin and his son Fred caught in the crosshairs, Lightning races to expose the conspiracy before the sabotage claims another victim.
Two ex-pilots running a small aviation school get an unexpected jolt when a young man arrives claiming to be the son of their old war buddy—only to turn out to be none other than Harry Carson, the hothead they just fought in a cafeteria. What begins as a chance reunion over coffee in 1940 quickly spirals into a high-flying adventure as Dick Swenson, Tom Devlin, and their newfound companion take on dangerous missions flying warplanes across the Atlantic. With enemy fire closing in and their ships riddled with bullet holes, this scrappy trio is just getting warmed up for the trouble ahead.
