Patrol of the Purple Clan

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!

When the Gods of War scream and spread their blood over G-8’s native land, it is time to fight! The war shifts swiftly from Europe to the U.S.A. on the wings of the Purple Clan! Traitors to the flag who fight for gold— vultures of civilization whose fangs reach out for the life of the Master Spy! What is the power behind this Clan that would stain the roots of a nation, and dishonor with a traitor’s brand what G-8 had fought to preserve?

With his canvas limited to the skies over No Man’s Land during the four years of World War One, Robert J. Hogan went for broke, escalating from terrifying tales such as ‘The Skeleton Patrol’ and ‘Squadron of the Scorpion’ to unchecked phantasms of terror like ‘Satan Paints the Sky’, ‘Here Flies the Hawks of Hell’ and ‘The Bloody Wings of the Vampire’. Hogan had a predilection for half-human antagonists, which manifested in beast-men, wolf-men, leopard-men, panther-men, even rhino-men. For G-8 and his battle buddies, the War to End All Wars proved to be a very long and hairy conflict.

Once, Hogan outlined a particularly gruesome G-8 plot for a queasy but mesmerized Popular Publications staffer. “My editor was nauseated,” he recalled. Readers ranging from ten years old to outwardly mature stockbrokers ate it up, however. They were so captivated by the Flying Spy that even the glamorous new all-metal aircraft dominating the skies of World War II didn’t squash their interest in the glorified kites of the prior conflict.

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’ Patrol of the Purple Clan’. Originally published in the July 1937 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.
