Buster Crabbe #10

In "The Swim For Life," Buster Crabbe races against time to save his friend Esther Robert, whose plane has vanished in the Mato Grosso. When he tracks her down, he’s captured by a rogue white man ruling a remote village, where he’s set to be sacrificed to a monstrous "roarer" — a fate Esther is spared only to endure. With the jungle closing in and the chief’s wrath brewing, Buster must outwit both man and beast in a desperate bid for freedom.

Buster Crabbe is recruited for a covert mission: posing as a wilderness guide for a secret government expedition in Arizona's badlands, where he must prevent classified information about a revolutionary energy project from reaching foreign agents—one of the three scientists in the group is a traitor. As the field trip unfolds, mysterious deaths begin to plague the camp, forcing Buster to uncover the spy's identity before sabotage claims anyone else.

An aging would-be prize fighter spins tall tales about his glory days as a carnival boxer—complete with rigged fights, creative cheating, and unlikely victories—all to prove he's the toughest hombre in the West. When a real challenger shows up looking for a match, Whiskers discovers that talking a big game is a lot easier than backing it up.

A young woman is snatched from her home in the dead of night, and a ransom demand arrives at her uncle's door—but when Buster Crabbe and his partner Whiskers overhear her desperate cry for help, they can't ignore it, despite orders to stay out of the way. What begins as a kidnapping takes a darker turn when Buster's suspicions about the ransom scheme itself prove uncomfortably close to the truth, and a rescue at an abandoned canyon becomes a race against time to stop a ruthless plan.
