G-8 and His Battle Aces #21 Audiobook

The Sword Staffel

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!

“The brain is mightier than the sword,” Herr Doktor Krueger cackled, “but not this sword. This is a sword with brains as well as sharp edges and strength. If I should so order it would jump forward from my bed and plunge itself into your heart”... It sounded like a madman’s boasting — but the Herr Doktor was far from mad. He was ready to launch against the Allies the most terrifying sky horror of the war — the staffel of death swords! They patrolled Allied cloud lanes — ghostly figures whose only weapon was a rapier. Bullets couldn’t stop them — no man faced their phantom vengeance and lived. But G-8 took up the challenge, pitted fighting wings against the deadliest, strangest staffel in death skies. Could G-8 battle this menace? Could he dare try to crush a phantom squadron with fighting wings?

With a nearly eleven year run, G-8 and His Battle Aces was the longest lasting continual series featuring an aviation hero, not to mention one who fought nightmarish monsters month in and month out. From October 1933 to June 1944, author Robert J. Hogan turned out a full length G-8 adventure a month along with multiple other pulp tales he wrote. At one time, Hogan was believed to be writing over 2 million words yearly for pulp magazines, a record for Pulp authors. Not only did Hogan do this writing about a World War One flying ace decades after the War to End All Wars. G-8 continued to fly into danger into and almost completely through World War II, still fighting the Great War.

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 Sword Staffel’. Originally published in the June 1935 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.
