Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Aging gunfighters, fancy flyers, noble officers, and rowdy rebels can all be found in Galaxy Press's latest four entries in its "Stories of the Golden Age" series, also available in trade paperback. Despite the titles' distinct differences, all are rife with action and adventure and laced with melodramatic overtones. All except Hostage to Death include additional stories besides the title feature. While each delivers its own slice of genre fiction dredged up from the pulp magazine in which it was published, together they represent an impressive and stylistically similar whole. From the musical introduction to the final credits, these full-cast, sound effects-laden productions will engage listeners of all ages, particularly fans of old-time radio, Westerns, genre fiction, action and adventure, and full-cast performances.

From the Publisher

"The Sky Crasher is a wild adventure about embarking on a round-the-world flight back when making the claim was so great an achievement that the attempts attracted a criminal element. Also, present are the stories Boomerang Bombe” and a preview of Hurtling Wings."  —Mid West Book Review

JANUARY 2010 - AudioFile

THE SKY CRASHER by Scientology founder Hubbard is a blast from the past. A novella written in the 1940s, it's the exciting adventure of the son of a WWI daredevil pilot who is racing around the world so his failing airline can become the mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. J.J. "Caution" Jones soon proves to be as daring as his daddy. The production’s musical intros are a bit over-the-top, but the full-cast performances are excellent. Tait Ruppert, as Jones, and narrator RF Daley capably do much of the heavy lifting. The supporting cast members also perform their roles well. In the second feature, “Boomerang Bomber,” Ruppert co-stars and directs a full cast. Special effects round out both stories, making for great escapist fun. M.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
