It serialized some of the top fantastic and adventure fiction ever committed to paper during its long and glorious run. The Tarzan stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs and the superlative fantasies of A. Merritt went on to become enduring classics. One of the top serials to grace the pages of this mighty magazine was Loring Brent's superb The Sapphire Death. Its hero, Peter Moore, also known as Peter the Brazen, had first appeared in its pages back in 1918, and was revived in 1930 for a new series of stories. His two-fisted exploits in the Far East became among the most popular tales of Argosy's 1930s era. Peter the Brazen first encountered the mysterious Mr. Lu, the Man with the Jade Brain, in the short story of that same title. Further battles followed, as in Cave of the Blue Scorpion and its sequel, Sting of the Blue Scorpion. Together, those last two tales comprised our first Best of Argosy audiobook release last year. You demanded more, so Robert Weinberg decided to hit you between the eyes with one of his favorite serials - which is by no means a minority opinion among pulp fiction aficionados. In The Sapphire Death, Peter the Brazen is thrust by a powerful urge for revenge into a final showdown with his diabolical arch-foe and, knowing that it will be the battle of his life, undergoes a regimen of physical and mental training calculated to transform him from the Man of Bronze into the Man of Chromium. Yes, Peter the Brazen becomes a superman, fully prepared to destroy the Man with the Jade Brain. One wonders if author George F. Worts - to give his real name - had noticed the adventures of Doc Savage, the other Man of Bronze, a superman who had been raised from the cradle to battle wrongdoers and who came along early in 1933, and decided to outdo Doc by transmuting Peter the Brazen into a hero of brighter metal than bronze.
