# Spy-Hunters #14 This issue contains at least two spy stories. "The Greedy Spy" follows American occupation official Walter Crane, who is captured by a red spy named Khiftan on Hokkaido Island and forced up a mountain while being tortured. When Crane spots a star anise plant, he identifies its juice as poisonous and tricks the greedy Khiftan into drinking it, resulting in the spy's death and Crane's escape. A second story involves a hypnotist spy at a theatrical performance who attempts to use mind control on a professor, but operatives discover his plot and apprehend him using acetylene gas from a cigar.

The Vanishing Submarine
12 pp · Spy

Mysterious reports of a bizarre submarine prowling the Eastern seaboard put Navy Intelligence on alert, and Lieutenant Bob Manning stakes out Long Island Beach to intercept what he suspects is a spy-smuggling operation. Instead, Manning finds himself captured and taken aboard the strange craft, which carries him to an astonishing destination: the legendary lost city of Atlantis, hidden deep beneath the ocean. Now Manning must navigate the dangerous politics of rival nations gathering in the sunken civilization, each vying for control of Atlantis's advanced scientific secrets.

Terror in the Timberland
8 pp · Spy
Cracking the Code
1 pp · Non-Fiction, Spy

During World War II, Allied forces turned to American Indian G.I.s and their native languages as an uncrackable code for transmitting espionage intelligence behind enemy lines via walkie-talkie—a solution that kept Nazi code-breakers baffled even as both sides raced to outmaneuver each other's cryptographic efforts. "Cracking the Code" reveals how dialects like Blackfeet, Crow, and Shoshone became humanity's most effective shield against interception, and the ingenuity born from desperation in the signal corps.

Thunderbolt in Thuringia
11 pp · Spy

When a woman named Greta Kassel desperately seeks help for her brother Kurt at American headquarters in West Germany, a secretary's curiosity sets off a chain of events that spirals into Cold War danger and personal vengeance. After communist assassins strike down Kurt, Greta vanishes into the snowy border region near the Iron Curtain with plans of her own—and Barry Stevens, the secretary who turned her away, finds himself racing through a blizzard to stop her from crossing into enemy territory. "Thunderbolt in Thuringia" is an 11-page spy thriller set in occupied Germany, where the stakes are life, death, and the secrets hidden in the mines of the East.

A brilliant scientist on the brink of perfecting an anti-gravity device finds himself entranced by Otto the Great, a mesmerizing hypnotist whose performance at a Key West theatre conceals a sinister espionage plot.
