G-8 and His Battle Aces #11 Audiobook

The Hurricane Patrol

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!

Twice in one morning an American front-line company had been wiped out; every man killed — suffocated — without a chance to fight back. “I think I am about to die. A moment ago a Fokker dropped a missile into our trenches...” As G-8 read this message from a dead man he knew he held the first vital clue to the strangling death that had wiped out hundreds of Yanks. And grimly he vowed to follow it! G-8 scoured Paris, flew over the Mediterranean and even penetrated the wild country of northern Africa to combat this ghastly sky menace on dead man’s wings!

The origins of G-8’s flying adventures relate directly to his creator’s fascination with flying. As a young man, Robert J. Hogan, born in 1897, made his first flight on a trip to Colorado one summer en route to a ranch named the G-8. Completely taken with this then new marvel of transportation, Hogan joined the newly formed air corps in World War I, but never saw true action. He held onto his aviation interest, working as a supporter of the industry and as a pilot demonstrating some of the earliest models of airplanes for companies building them. With the 1929 Crash nearly ending the fairly newborn aviation market, Hogan had to find another way to earn money. Taking his very personal affection for airplanes well in hand, he wrote a story, submitted it to Wings Magazine, and became a paid writer. Not long after, G-8 and His Battle Aces would wing their way into the hearts and minds of pulp fans for generations.

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 ‘The Hurricane Patrol’. Originally published in the August 1934 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.
