When former captain of this army and that, Phil Sheridan, lands on the shore of the forgotten Indonesian island of Kamling-jewel of the Banda Sea-he's captured instead of welcomed by warriors of a primitive and bloodthirsty tribe. Marched to the natives' camp, he meets Jose Emanuel Batista-one-time slave trafficker, long-time murderer, and now self-appointed tyrant.Using his smooth-talking tongue and shooting skills to escape, Sheridan finds temporary shelter at the lodgings of a miner and his beautiful daughter. With limited arms and supplies to hold off Batista and his men, Sheridan must take a desperate chance and journey ever deeper into the jungle. His plan? Enlist the help of headhunters who may be more interested in his head than in driving out Batista's regime and ending its tyrannical reign.

Destiny Drum L Ron Hubbard Books Reviews
In 1930s Indonesia, Phil Sheridan must handle a rough tyrannical regime, so he enlists the assistance of native headhunters. The tale and premise is unique, the action and adventure high. Classic pulp fiction.
Here is one of those stories where L. Ron Hubbard shows he knows a lot about people of all sorts and about remote locales -- in this case the South Pacific islands and the kind of criminals who took advantage of that remoteness (before the days of jet travel), not to mention headhunters, who become allies to the hero of the story! If you're looking for a break in a boring day, pick up this book and you'll be gratified.
Pulp magazines were all the rage in the 1930's and 1940's crossing various genres dominated with bold heroes, gutsy heroines, and unsavory villains. Galaxy Press has revived this pulp era by reprinting the best of L. Ron Hubbard's fiction.
One of these treasures is "Destiny's Drum," first published in "Five Novels Monthly" in March, 1935. This is the story of renegade, Phil Sheridan who lands on the shore of Kamling, an Indonesian island in the Banda Sea. Immediately, he is captured by warriors of a primitive tribe with a leader, nicknamed Portugese Joe, self-proclaimed governor, whose resume includes slave trafficker, murderer, con artist, and tyrant. Joe orders outsider Sheridan's death sentence by firing squad to keep his maniacal actions from reaching civilization. Through some clever twists and turns, Sheridan is able to escape Portugese Joe's grasp and flees deep into the jungle where he is ready for anything and anything just might happen.

Recently I've been listening to the Galaxy Audio releases of the old L. Ron Hubbard science-fiction stories from the days of the pulps, 30s-40s. As I would do the research and find out more about these writings I found that they are also releasing other genres of L. Ron Hubbard's multitude of fictional short stories and novellas. The other genres are; westerns, tales from the Orient, far flung adventure, air adventure, sea adventure, mystery and fantasy. I have read some of the fantasy and they were just as fun to read, or listen to, as in this case. So I decided to try another genre. The far flung adventure caught my fancy so I picked out the title "Destiny's Drum." And once again my commutes were fun, while listening to this novella.
Before I get into the meat of the story, once again I would like to spout a little praise on the production of these audio books. Galaxy Audio mixes just the right amount of sound effects to keep the listener lost in the story, yet not too much to overpower the production. The acting in these stories, as well as the narration, really keep the feel of the time in which the original stories were written. They come across as old radio serials, with moments of urgency and humor mixed in with just the right amount to not sound hokey. I almost expect the end of each chapter to end with the narrator booming in, "Tune in next week for more daring adventures..." No matter what genre the stories, Galaxy Audio makes listening fun and exciting.
The story behind "Destiny's Drum" is that a renegade by the name of Phil Sheridan lands on the shores of the forgotten Indonesian island o f Kamling. He's captured by a primitive tribe (could they be cannibals?) and taken to their camp to meet their leader. It turns out the tribe's leader is Jose Emanuel Batista, slave trafficker, murderer, con-artist now tyrant.
Portuguese Joe, as Batista is otherwise known, knows of Sheridan's past and decides he doesn't need him meddling in his island paradise, so he sentences Sheridan to be killed in front of a firing squad. Sheridan cons the con-man and makes his escape into the jungle on the island. Where he runs into the island's true King, and another con-man turned gold miner. In order to get off the Island Sheridan has to get past Portuguese Joe and his tribe of Muslim cannibals, so he recruits the help of the miner and the king to overpower Batista.
This is a continuous island adventure that keeps you waiting for the next chapter, in fact I found myself taking the long way a couple of times just so I could listen for a little longer. One thing to keep in mind, this is an L.Ron Hubbard story so expect some very interesting twists and turns in the plot and the story may go a direction you aren't expecting. Just when you think you got it figured out and you're having fun listening to the story, it turns out you're still having fun, but it's not what you think.
This exciting, and quite dramatic adventure takes place on the forgotten Indonesian island of Kamling. That right there is your first sign this story is going to be such a thrill, as mysterious settings tend to enliven the whole story.
Upon his arrival on the forgotten island, Phil Sheridan is taken hostage by warriors of a primitive cannibalistic tribe. The leader, a horrid man named Jose Emanuel Batista (nicknamed Portuguese Joe), known for his slave trafficker, murderer, being a con artist, and full on tyrant. Portuguese Joe knows all about Sheridan and his past, which is why his death is ordered by firing squad.
Sheridan knows he must act quickly, and ends up conning Portuguese Joe and makes his escape. While on the run through the jungle, Sheridan knows he must think even quicker if he wants to make it off the island alive. Meeting up with a man he use to know turned gold miner and his beautiful young daughter, and with the help of local headhunters, Sheridan must fight for his life, and for his head.
With the many twists and turns throughout this story, you will probably find yourself clenching to your seat, just as I did. Not only was the plot itself surprising and amazing, the audio was too outstanding. Ever time I closed my eyes, I felt as if I too were in that jungle of Kamling.
So if you are looking for a spine-tingling adventure, then I completely recommend Destiny's Drum.
