[edit] About the Series
A 1970 advertisement for the series gives the following description:
"Adventure, mystery, suspense - these make up every Danny Orlis story. From the northern Canadian wilderness to the steaming jungles of Guatemala, Danny meets danger and mystery as well as everyday problems in the homeland. He is a cabable outdoorsman, a skilled athlete - and above all a consisten Christian. Quick action, quiet courage, and level-headed thinking often save the day as Danny uses his resources to the fullest. His ability to apply biblical solutions to every situation makes him a unique personality whose experiences often provide realistic guidelines for Christian youth facing similar difficulties."
The ad continues:
"In the earlier stories in the series Danny himself is central, growing up amid the complications arising out of school life, sporting events, outdoor dangers and other equally interesting settings and happenings. In the later books, Danny as an adult influences other young people in exciting lifelike situations. Together with his wife, Kay, they offer wise counsel and a meaningful example to young people who face choices of lasting consequence."
The series constists of over fifty titles. Two other key publishing companies who published the books are Tyndale Publishers and Back to the Bible Publications.
