by Walker A. Tompkins ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 21, 1960
Based on his own boyhood on the Washington Coast, this is a story of mystery and adventure as eighteen year old Tommy Rockford hunts down a vicious gang leader by means of a ham radio device. The author weaves together a very modern story of two fisted action with a more romantic and eerie tale of a demented beachcomber whose devotion to an early version of the wireless embroils him in a complicated criminal search. Walker Tompkins, an expert on ham radios, brings back the hero of SOS at Midnight in another dramatic exposure of his interesting and worthwhile hobby.
