Fangs of the Sky Leopard

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 greatest fighters among you will die first!”

This message was not a lie. It came swiftly and frighteningly, written for all to see in the blood of the brave. What strange strength had been given to these beasts that was denied to other men? What forces have made courage useless and the honor of men a travesty? The Leopard Men, rampant, anxious to kill — determined to murder the Master Spy!

As a team, The Battle Aces took on multiple missions, largely against the Germans as depicted in Robert J. Hogan’s version of World War One. G-8 and his men handled espionage, air and ground special forces type duties, and anything aerial, from reconnaissance to raids. The pacing of the G-8 stories seemed, believe it or not, faster than most Pulp tales, primarily because they were taking on missions during a war and everything had a sense of tension, of time being of the essence. This added to the impact of the story for the readers, making them invested in whether or not G-8 won the day.

Although the most frequently featured, the Battle Aces weren’t G-8’s only supporting cast. Adding a rather unique twist to things, G-8 had the services and loyalty of Battle, a British manservant, a butler of sorts. Battle did more, however, than simply look after his master in his off hours. Involved in several stories as a sort of ground troop, Battle provided assistance to the Battle Aces whenever he could. He was also responsible for G-8’s mastery of disguise, having learned himself from a master actor.

Nick Santa Maria brings G-8, Nippy and Bull to thrilling life in their desperate struggle to defeat a feline nemesis unlike anything they have ever before encountered in Fangs of the Sky Leopard. Originally published in the March, 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.
