{"product_id":"2940013671393","title":"Suicide Squad - Targets For The Flaming Arrows","description":"On the seventeenth of August, a furtive Rumanian walked into the\u003cbr\u003eUnited States Consulate in Berne, Switzerland, and whispered that he\u003cbr\u003ehad information to sell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCloseted with one of the attachés, he put on a mysterious air, and\u003cbr\u003esaid that he could tell about the plans of the Flaming Arrow to wreck\u003cbr\u003ethe United States war effort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe attaché frowned. \"The Flaming Arrow? What are you talking about?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Rumanian became more mysterious, and at the same time more furtive\u003cbr\u003eand frightened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It is the name of the one who can win the war for the Axis. He has\u003cbr\u003ebeen in America now for three years. But only three men in all the\u003cbr\u003eworld know who the Flaming Arrow really is. Those three are Hitler,\u003cbr\u003eHimmler, and Tojo, of Japan. The Axis has paid ten million dollars\u003cbr\u003eover to the account of the Flaming Arrow, and there are ninety\u003cbr\u003emillions more in banks in every neutral country which he can call\u003cbr\u003eupon. For that sum, the Flaming Arrow has agreed to destroy American\u003cbr\u003ewar power completely.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"You're mad!\" said the attaché.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mad? You think perhaps that I dream this? Let me tell you: There is a\u003cbr\u003eschool not far from Berlin, where the Nazis train the youngsters who\u003cbr\u003eare smuggled into America to enter the ranks of the Flaming Arrow!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe little Rumanian became eager, almost voluble. \"But that is not\u003cbr\u003eall. In Formosa, there is a small island, in the middle of a large\u003cbr\u003elake. None dares go near that island, for it is under the special\u003cbr\u003eprotection of the Emperor. On that island other men are trained, men\u003cbr\u003eof a strange, vicious, mountain race. They are little, wiry men, taken\u003cbr\u003efrom Korea as children, and dedicated to the service of the Flaming\u003cbr\u003eArrow. These men, too, have been smuggled into America. All are ready\u003cbr\u003efor the day when the Supreme Plan of the Flaming Arrow is ready for\u003cbr\u003eexecution. On that day the Flaming Arrow will wreck America!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe attaché was annoyed. \"Look here, my man, you've been smoking\u003cbr\u003eopium!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"But no! I swear to you that this is all true. I alone have stumbled\u003cbr\u003eupon the clue, and I will sell it to you. Cable your government. Ask\u003cbr\u003ethem. They know of the Flaming Arrow. Ask them how much you may pay me\u003cbr\u003efor information that will save your country!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"All right,\" the attaché agreed reluctantly. \"Come back tomorrow\u003cbr\u003emorning at ten o'clock.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo a cable in code went off to the State Department: \"What do you know\u003cbr\u003eabout Axis agent named Flaming Arrow? Am offered information in re\u003cbr\u003eabove but believe it of no value. Are you interested?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen the attaché promptly forgot all about it. But he was awakened at\u003cbr\u003etwo o'clock in the morning by an urgent radio message in reply: \"Get\u003cbr\u003eall information possible. Urgent. Flaming Arrow greater menace than\u003cbr\u003efifty divisions!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThoroughly aroused, the attaché dressed hurriedly and went to the\u003cbr\u003eaddress which the Rumanian had left with him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was five minutes too late. The squalid room in which the informer\u003cbr\u003elived was a mass of flames. Firemen forced their way in, and came out\u003cbr\u003ebearing the body of the Rumanian. There was still a bit of flickering\u003cbr\u003elife left in him as they laid him in the street, with a two-foot arrow\u003cbr\u003eprotruding from his chest.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079714849008,"sku":"2940013671393","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013671393_p0.jpg?v=1763583749","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013671393","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
