Pictured above is number 1 in the series - Siege of Serpentor by
R.L. Stine. The book is 120 pages in length, its ISBN # is 0-345-35094-4,
and it was first published in February of 1988.
The back of the book reads: Mayday! Mayday! Slip Stream is hit somewhere over the Pacific!
What begins as a hurried rescue mission for the G.I.Joe Team turns into a deadly game with Serpentor making the rules. Turning against his own side, the traitorous COBRA warrior has hatched a plot to oust COBRA Commander, destroy COBRA Island, and humilitate the G.I.Joe Team so that the world will turn to him for leadership. Not even Dr. Mindbender - Serpentor's own creator - can stop COBRA's fiercest fighting force from trying to rule the world.
But perhaps the G.I.Joe Team can. Hawk and his team of Outback, Beach Head, Gung-Ho, Sneak Peek, Crazylegs, and Leatherneck have a score to settle, and they're willing to run the gauntlet of lethal COBRA Raven, Dreadnoks, and mindless B.A.T.s in order to stop Serpentor. But can they halt his detonation of the powerful Defender Missile? Only the final seconds will tell...
The novel's author, R.L.Stine, has gone on to create the popular childrens books "Goosebumps".
