G-8 and His Battle Aces #30 Audiobook

The Patrol of the Dead

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!

Deep in the forests of Bocheland lurked a horror that was not Death — but a living doom that robbed the soul and turned men into bloodthirsty beasts! Not even G-8 had known Death so hideous! — disaster so inescapable! There before his very eyes, his boyhood pal had turned to dust, while high overhead — mocking his frantic efforts to escape — lurked the grim Patrol of the Dead, vengeance mad, baptized in their comrades’ blood!

G-8 held half the secret within his whirling brain, and meant to learn the rest, knowing too well that his only reward would be Death or living madness!

Readers of Pulp magazines in the late 1920s and throughout the 1930s had a particular fascination for Aviation stories. Not simply the daring exploits of pilots, but particularly fans wanted tales set in an often romanticized version of a war past. World War One became the setting for many stories and series featuring high flying heroes, but many crashed and burn after just a few tales told. But, not G-8 and His Battle Aces.

Created to take advantage of the Aviation craze and to bolster the sales of one of Popular Publications’ failing magazine titles, G-8 took Pulp fiction on a flight like no other. Not only a pilot, this mysterious figure, whose true name was never revealed, was also a Master Spy and skilled at many things, particularly as a master of disguise.

G-8 didn’t take the nightmarish monsters that filled the skies on alone, however. The Battle Aces consisted of Nippy and Bull, two pilots as skilled as their leader and fun characters in their own right.

Nick Santa Maria brings G-8, Nippy and Bull to thrilling life in their desperate struggle to defeat a strange nemesis unlike anything they have ever before encountered in The Patrol of the Dead. Originally published in the March, 1936 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.
