Written by Adam Lance Garcia, this wall-to-wall pulp adventure pits the Green Lama and his friends against the Nazis of the Third Reich and an ancient evil from beyond the stars. Soon to become a true pulp classic, this is an audiobook that belongs in every true pulp fan's library. Produced by Airship 27. Members Reviews: Great Super Hero Novel With many Superheroes on the big screen and different ones coming out nearly every month, one might think that there would be a lot of great superhero novels out there. For the most part, they do not exist; âUnbound,â though, could certainly be nominated as such a story. âUnboundâ tells the continuing story of the Green Lama, a true Buddhist Lama, who uses his mystical talents for the good of humanity. Its background, history, and perspective is entirely consistent with the original 14 stories published from April 1940 to March 1943. It is an authorized continuation of the Green Lama pulps keeping the characters the same as the ones originally the original 14 novels written by Kendell Foster Crossen. It builds wonderfully on the old and projects the hero in new and creative situations. In all ways, âUnboundâ can be considered canonical. The stories open with a small vignette where Jethro Dumont, the Green Lama, first encounters his Tibetan teacher, Geshe Tsaroung. He asks for training, not for money, wealth, fame, or excess, but for purpose. Tsaroung seems reluctant, but his ring indicates differently, and so Dumont finds his destiny. As the novel progresses, nearly each chapter gives us another glimpse into his training and how he gains the capability to be the Green Lama, beginning in 1923. After the flashback at the beginning of the first chapter, the story jumps to 1939, a few months after the original novels happened. The Green Lama starts a new adventure, one that will literally save the world. With the backdrop of Chapter 1, Garcia has established a strong hook for the rest of the story. In Greece, we the Green Lama and two buddies at the heart of a mystery that they do not understand based on a nightmare from Tsarong. The reader has the advantage of having other characters bring more understanding to the tremendous task before the Lama. Most useful are the Nazis dispatched by Hitler much like in âIndiana Jones and the Lost Arkâ who are after a Jade book that is apparently located in the Greek city that Dumont has entered looking for Jean; eventually it leads to the South Pacific. The mystery harkens back to Lovecraftâs 1928 âThe Call of Cthulhu,â and the rising city in Tsarongâs vision/nightmare is Râlyeh where the dead Cthulhu is dreamingâsomewhere in the South Pacific. A superbly creative novel with something new on every page, loaded with fun situations and desperate measures! The reader will love it. Garciaâs flowing narrative is a joy to read, different from the pulpish, newspaper-like original Crossen stories. When done, the reader will want more, but will also be tired from the explosive ride of the novel. He will also want to go back and read those earlier stories filtered now with the enhanced understanding provided by Garcia, such as how the Green Lama uses radioactive salts work without Dumont sprouting tumors growing in every direction.
