Arctic Wings

by L. Ron Hubbard Narrated by R.F. Daley

Overview

Spring has come to White Bear Landing-and so has the law, in the firm hands of Royal Mounted policeman and pilot Bob Dixon. Dixon's as gruff, tough and good-looking as Russell Crowe, and in this outpost halfway between the arctic mines and civilization, he's known for taking the law to extremes.

More than once Dixon has meted out his own brand of rough justice with hard fists and hot lead, but now the tables have turned. The past has come back to haunt him, he's been set up as a murder suspect, and a rogue's gallery of enemies are lining up to settle old scores . . .

Out on the icy tundra, on the edge of the world, revenge can be cold-and brutal. Dixon's only hope is to let the trust of a good friend and the love of a good woman lead the way to true justice and redemption-on Arctic Wings.

Listeners notice right away a particular excellence in background sounds: murmuring voices, airplane engines, the pop of gunfire—none of it in your face but enhancing the story nicely. The five actors, one woman and four men, with the latter in multiple roles, do their jobs well, especially in projecting the emotions of the moment. Hubbard published widely in the pulps between 1932 and 1950, this title in FIVE NOVELS MONTHLY (1938). We meet a Canadian Mountie under attack, bad guys in airplanes with machine guns, and officious superiors who disapprove of his tough-guy methods. The production is also a character study and a love story. Call this one an audio play and enjoy it. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
