About the author
Franklin W. Dixon
952 books1,017 followersFranklin W. Dixon is the pen name used by a variety of different authors who were part of a team that wrote The Hardy Boys novels for the Stratemeyer Syndicate (now owned by Simon & Schuster). Dixon was also the writer attributed for the Ted Scott Flying Stories series, published by Grosset & Dunlap.
Canadian author Leslie McFarlane is believed to have written the first sixteen Hardy Boys books, but worked to a detailed plot and character outline for each story. The outlines are believed to have originated with Edward Stratemeyer, with later books outlined by his daughters Edna C. Squier and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. Edward and Harriet also edited all books in the series through the mid-1960s. Other writers of the original books include MacFarlane's wife Amy, John Button, Andrew E. Svenson, and Adams herself; most of the outlines were done by Adams and Svenson. A number of other writers and editors were recruited to revise the outlines and update the texts in line with a more modern sensibility, starting in the late 1950s.
The principal author for the Ted Scott books was John W. Duffield.

While the story was fun and the writing was great, references to anthrax brought back bad memories of the infamous scare from back in the day. If you're old enough to remember 9/11, you know to what I'm referring.

This case was oo-er. I love how they used wishful chemistry to murder targets. Fenton Hardy was on the brink of death: Anthrax-B painfully kills it victim within the span of seven days. Frank and Joe had only seven days to save their father's life in the jungles of Borneo....and the adventure was truly oo-er. Seriously. SERIOUSLY.

I was a big fan of the Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Supermysteries. I picked this up to see what the Hardy Boys books were like a long time ago.
It was good. I did pick out the Assassin's contact right away.
