G-8 and His Battle Aces #16 Audiobook
The X-Ray Eye
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!
“Scientist murdered in Berlin!” It was that headline in a German newspaper that sent G-8 on the trail of one of the most ghastly war schemes that ever blasted fighting skies. Intelligence was not impressed by the news story; but G-8 suspected the motive behind the crime, knew that it promised a horror campaign that might destroy the world — and grimly he set out to combat it on a lone madman’s mission into terror skies.
G-8 and His Battle Aces fought evil in the skies of the world during World War One, as written by author Robert J. Hogan. Hogan’s Great War, however, was thankfully not fully grounded in reality. Although a strong country, G-8’s America entered into the alleged war to end all wars up against an enemy like no other before. This Germany did not simply have thousands of soldiers marching out to fight or guns with regular bullets or even traditional airplanes. No, Hogan’s version of the Kaiser had giant bats, floating dog heads that spread disease, death rays, and more, but these were not the Kaiser’s creations.
Not only did Hogan create the ultimate aviation hero in G-8, but he also gave America’s Master Spy one of the most formidable foes in fiction. Herr Doctor Krueger, G-8’s most recurring enemy, brought his devilish intellect into play, warping science and weaponry into his own twisted vision. From Krueger’s monstrous mind came creations that would decimate thousands and thousands, and only one man was capable of stopping him, Hogan’s own G-8.
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 X-Ray Eye’. Originally published in the January 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.
