WIND-GONE-MAD

The outstanding Hubbard Golden Age sci-fi series continues with this compilation of tales set in pre-WWII China. The central story focuses on one man's search for a mysterious aviator known only as "Wind-Gone-Mad," who may be able to save the country from total destruction. The production quality of this entry in the series continues to be top-notch, with realistic sound effects that take listeners to a new time and place. The cast of narrators is stellar, with each performer deserving praise. A subtle musical score creates a stirring atmosphere of foreboding that draws listeners into each story from the start. In particular, R.F. Daley, the omniscient storyteller, delivers a pitch-perfect reading that sets the tone of each story. L.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2009]
