MAN-KILLERS OF THE AIR

Handsome daredevil Smoke Burnham and his pet cheetah, Patty, have had some close calls while barnstorming and air-racing around the world in his twin-engine plane, the Super Comet. But the stakes have never been higher when Smoke is challenged to race nonstop from North America across the Gulf of Mexico and over the lofty Andes to the jungles of the Amazon. He could lose everything, including the girl of his dreams. Galaxy Press once again pulls out all the audio stops by mixing a deft musical score with well-chosen sound effects and old-time-radio-style acting to create an audio movie from of one of Hubbard’s most entertaining 1930s adventure stories. This is the sound of old-fashioned pulp fiction at its best. B.P. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2012]
