Hurtling Wings (Stories from the Golden Age)

During the midth century L. Ron Hubbard eked out a living by writing stories for the many pulp fiction magazines that were in heavy circulation at the time. Some of the genres he wrote in are; Science-Fiction, Westerns, Mystery, Fantasy, and Adventure the adventure could be further broken down to sea, air and orient adventures. Galaxy Press began re-releasing these stories and packaging them down to books that cover the various genres. Galaxy Audio in turning these into audio books has gone a huge step further by creating some very entertaining audio drama with each book. Each book contains one or more stories, and with the audio books these come out to about 2 hours of pure audio pleasure.

Using a cast of very talented vocal actors, these stories come to life in full audio glory. The actors not only perform the characters they create the mood and express the action they make you HAVE to listen to the stories. The sound effects are not simply thrown in when the story asks for it but instead layered into the full production so that they fit perfectly in to make the full experience completely engulf the listener.

Soon I was caught up in the action and enjoying the full theatrical spectacle that is this audio book.

Editorial Reviews. From Publishers Weekly. Death-defying aerial feats, prophetic dreams, and Hurtling Wings: Hurtling Wings (Historical Fiction Short Stories Collection) by [Hubbard,. Audible Sample. Audible Sample. Playing Playing. bahana-line.com: Hurtling Wings (Historical Fiction Short Stories Collection) ( ): L. Ron Hubbard, R.F. Daley, Eric Matheny, Bob Caso, Jim Meskimen.

Hurtling Wings was originally published in "Adventure" November,, and seems at first like a simple story about aircraft racing teams competing in various aerial events. But with Hubbard's stories from the Golden Age nothing is simple. Cal Bradley is a daredevil racer and test pilot and during the acrobatics section of the event loses his plane in what turns out to be sabotage.

Speed Kyle's company which builds the best planes around needs a good pilot to show of his planes at this event. This National Air Meet is important because the winner of the meet could get a valuable air mail contract, which could pull Speed's company out of the possibility of financial ruin. Cal happens to be dating Speed's daughter Georgia, and this means they could be together more, but the sabotage follows Cal as it turns that some of the other businesses competing are not very honest.

During the various flying contests Cal battles sabotaged planes to keep them in the air and battles the saboteurs to keep everyone around him safe. The excitement of this story will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time and not until everyone is safe and back on the ground can you relax.

Check out this latest release from Galaxy Audio for some exciting air adventures from the Golden Age of stories. Pulp fiction reached its zenith during the 's and 's. Another prolific and popular writer of that era was L.

His flying ace tale, "Hurtling Wings" was originally published in in "Adventure" magazine. The mythologist, Joseph Campbell writes that "popular tales represent the heroic action as physical," and this tale about Cal Bradley, daredevil racer and test pilot is no exception.

Heroic Cal Bradley flies in the face of saboteurs and sabotaged planes to try to save Speed Kyle's aircraft company. Hubbard knows how to write a page turner I actually listened to the audiobooks and I loved it. These audiobooks are fully dramatized stories with music and sound effect. In this audio the sound effects are background sounds. And the story itself is what makes the story a blast to listen to. He wants to win the contract for Air Mail Transportation. As usual there is a dame in the story a bit of romance but this dame is a strong lady!

I like strong women! And of course there are villains and danger! Cool thing is that the story is so real, you can tell that the author knew how to fly and has been there. Daley,Eric Matheny and Tamra Meskimen. Cannot beleive our ears how evil,Evil was in the pulps. This cd set gives you a first class seat with a exciting hero,Who almost gets us killed well our ears anyway along with himself.
