G-8 and His Battle Aces #90 Audiobook

Raiders of the Red Death

by Robert J. Hogan

Read by Nick Santa Maria

 

 

They called G-8 the Flying Spy. History never recorded his exploits—and for good reason! No one would ever believe World War I was that wild!

 

From the tombs of the Pharaohs to No Man’s Land, Death had placed his dreadful token — secret, invisible doom, sweeping cities from the face of the earth! While the very hand of War was stilled, a trapped army realized that only G-8, the Master Spy, remained to cope with this death blow to the Allies and the World!
 
As colorful as G-8 was as a hero, he was by no means alone on his various adventures. The Master Spy’s adventures as written by Robert J. Hogan were replete with solid, even over the top characters.
 
G-8’s Battle Aces were two pilots who helped him escape capture in his first printed adventure. Nippy and Bull would fly alongside the Master Spy for the entire run of the magazine.
 
Nippy and Bull, were based on actual pilots who, coincidentally, shared their first names. The interactions between Nippy and Bull often provided breaks of tension within the stories, even humor at times. The two characters also gave the often over the top, fantastical tales a more grounded feeling, something for readers to relate to.
 
Together, these three Battle Aces would fight a war that was equal parts nostalgic flashback, perhaps morbid fascination with the horrors of war, and the stuff nightmares are made of. Monsters and madmen flew into battle every month against G-8.
 
Known as a master of disguise, G-8 learned that skill from his manservant, the singularly named Battle. Battle also proved to be useful to his master and the Battle Aces in a variety of ways, even at times actively taking part in adventures when legs on the ground were needed.

 

Nick Santa Maria brings G-8, Nippy and Bull to thrilling life in their desperate struggle to defeat a deadly nemesis unlike anything they have ever before encountered in Raiders of the Red Death  Originally published in the March, 1941 issue of G-8 and His Battle Aces magazine.

 

Nick DeGregorio composed the music for the G-8 and His Battle Aces series of audiobooks.
