Quick little pulp fiction stories from 80 years ago when times were simpler!!1 Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing . OK. So L. Ron Hubbard is a bit of a joke, but if we put that aside, his stories are great examples of their type and era. No we would not write this story now, it's too farfetched and culture bashing for modern tastes, but for its time it was fine.The title story – The Sky Devil – is a standard tale of Vic Kennedy who finds himself accidently in the women's quarters of a Muslim palace. Yikes! It's off with his head if he is found out. Fortunately the young woman who discovers him thinks he's a djinn and then falls for him romantically. Mr. Hubbard could have made this a farce – as in "Some Like it Hot" – but instead plays it straight and honourable. Love triumphs after adversity and all ends well. This is a performance audio, not a reading, and the quality is excellent. There are two other Hubbard stories included in the CD set and they are not particularly good. I received a review copy of "The Sky Devil" by L. Ron Hubbard (Galaxy Audio) through LibraryThing.com. Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .

That said this was probably my least favorite of the three of these CDs I've listened to. I have a hard time getting into damsel in distress stories. Plus the evil Arab thing got old real fast.

Vic Kennedy is in one hell of a jam. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued with Nicholas Cage's maverick sense of adventure, Vic's flown out of trouble by the skin of his teeth . . . and straight into the jaws of disaster. He chose the wrong side of a rebellion, and now the French have bid him adieu and the British have said off you go. It seems the only place that will have him is Greece. The problem with that is, as soon as the Greeks get him, they plan on giving him a real send off--at the gallows. But Vic has a better idea, plotting a course for an oasis in the Sahara . . . where things are looking up. A gorgeous captive princess mistakes Vic for a genie--The Sky Devil--and if he gets his wish, well, this Sky Devil will certainly have his day. If he lives to see it. . . . In 1933, when L. Ron Hubbard began his professional writing career, he entered a crowded and competitive field. But he very quickly separated from the pack, making a name for himself as a writer who was both good and fast. So good and fast, in fact, that in 1935 the three stories included in this volume were all published in the same issue of an all-fiction magazine. Fully a quarter of the issue had been written by Hubbard--though readers didn't know it, two of the stories appearing under two different pseudonyms. Also includes the adventures Buckley Plays a Hunch, in which an adventurer seeks to solve the mystery of three castaways who refuse to be rescued, and Medals for Mahoney, the story of man who journeys into the heart of darkness to thwart a murderous conspiracy.
