Who is Wind-Gone-Mad? He is an ace pilot, a fearless fighter, and the ultimate defender of a war-torn China. But he is an enigma, a man in disguise, his true identity shrouded in mystery. And he faces one ruthless nemesis above all . . . a man known simply as "The Butcher." The epic battle has been set into motion by Jim Dahlgren--an American executive with the Amalgamated Aeronautical Company. He is determined to give China a fighting chance against The Butcher ... and against the Western diplomats whose sole interest in the country is to profit from its internal strife. China's only chance, Dahlgren realizes, is the legendary Wind-Gone-Mad.... To The Butcher, China is a side of beef to carve up and serve at his pleasure. But when Wind-Gone-Mad flies into the action, it may well be The Butcher who ends up being dead meat. Ultimately, the only thing more thrilling than the mystery man's fighting spirit is the true nature of his identity.... Also includes the Asian adventures, "Tah," the tragic story of a twelve-year-old boy betrayed by his father ... and by his life; and "Yellow Loot," in which the pursuit of a priceless stash of ancient amber leads to a heart-stopping chase on the Great Wall of China. Swords are slashing, bullets are blasting, and fighter planes are flashing through the air as the audio version of Wind-Gone-Mad flies into the heart of an ancient culture and conflict. "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." --AudioFile… (mehr)

Review is of the Ebook version.

Gave it 3.5 stars mostly off of Tah, which is genuinely a very good short story with a genuine touch and craft to it. Take it away and I'd probably give it about 2.5 stars.

Wind-Gone-Mad itself is too long (and there's a version of it on Loot of the Shanung, not sure if it's an earlier draft or he just put out multiple version of the same story), Yellow Loot is way too short and busy.

At the end of the day, they are LRH pulps, what you expect is largely what you get. They're fine. ( )

The audio CD is superb. The story Tah which was Mr Hubbard's first published is a superb story of a young Chinese boy stuck in a war he really doesn't wish to be in. It's an excellent anti-war bit, especially for those who haven't chosen for themselves to be there... sad, touching and realistic I think. ( )
