The Spider #19 Audiobook
Slaves of the Crime Master
by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
 
 
Never before has the Spider, Master of Men, crusader extraordinary against the Underworld, been faced with such overwhelming difficulties. A magically persuasive radio voice luring thousands of young people to crime; a scientific madman dealing germicidal death over the nation; every criminal gang in the country organized to levy toll by stark terror... How can Richard Wentworth link these facts, weave a web of retribution for the Doom Dealer? With his beloved Nita captured and waiting for a ghastly old-world torture, his one-time friend Kirkpatrick ordering police on his trail to ‘Kill at Sight!’, his every movement hampered not only by outlaws but by the law itself — can even the Spider find a way to free humanity from the grip of wholesale destruction being planned for it by the greatest of all Crime Masters?
 
The Spider did not speak lightly of evil. He was too gentle, too tender a lover, to blot the glamorous night with useless vaporings. He was too courageous to take fright from vague notions. But through years of ceaseless struggle and hourly danger—not alone from the Underworld but also from the police who considered his brand-marked executions of criminals only murder—he had developed an uncanny feeling like the sixth sense of bats. Flying in the dark, scarcely seeing, the convoluted facial feelers of a bat received, apparently, an impact of air waves which forewarned the animal of obstacles in its path. So something—thought waves?—warned the Spider of danger.
 
Nick Santa Maria brings the Spider to vivid life in one of the most dramatic Spider stories ever recorded. Slaves of the Crime Master originally published in The Spider magazine, April, 1935.

5 of 5 GREAT SPIDER ADVENTURE! May 28, 2022
Reviewer: Joseph Baneth Allen from Jacksonville, FL United States  
Just finished listening to "The Spider #19 - Slaves of the Crime Master" released by Radio Archives.
The Tempter is  a smooth talker who, by just the sound of his dulcet tones can get people - especially young people - to commit the most hideous of crimes. Richard Wentworth finds himself almost disillusioned because he can not use his own words to warn America's youth about the dangers and hollowness of the criminal life because it sounds so boring. And if I'm not mistaken, the is the first time Spider Clubs are mentioned as a way to combat crime and keep young boys and girls on the straight and narrow.
Great Pulp Action and Fun!
Nick Santa Maria brings Richard Wentworth and crew to vivid life!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
FIVE STARS!
