by Jim Beard

Where Do They Get All Those Wonderful Toys?

It’s 1975, and you only think the members of Adventure Command International have been in tight spots before! When the worldwide cult the team’s battled for the past two years suddenly and sinisterly advances its plans to change the world forever, D.C. Jones and Adventure Command bring together all their resources to make a final assault for freedom, liberty, and democracy!

In their first full-length novel, you’ll be right there in the middle of all the action with Adventure Command as they pit all their strength, ingenuity, and fighting savvy against an opponent who has the power to warp reality itself! There has never been a D.C. Jones mission like it before—and if he and his fellow adventurers fail, it may just be their last!

D.C. JONES AND ADVENTURE COMMAND INTERNATIONAL 3 is writer Jim Beard's explosive conclusion to the Cult Trilogy, a sprawling story that will transport you back to the 1970s and all those great toys and action figures of the past!

Reviews

[Bluesman · Rating 5 out of 5]

D.C. Jones And Adventure Command International Vol 3 was phenomenal! it was as fun as the two previous outings, but this carried more depth and character development. It was awesome to get a bit of a peek into the early days of ACI as well as the personal life of D.C. himself. Jim also incorporated the reality of what it meant for Dixie and Greg to pursue their budding relationship in the 1970 and he did it with class and style, kudos for that. Now, I absolutely HATE snakes and there's plenty in this book, but I could not put it down and blew through it in 4 days...that's how good this is! Now, on to the next!
