Wind-Gone-Mad: Golden Age Stories

Written by L. Ron Hubbard

Narrated by R.F. Daley, Shane Johnson, James King and 4 more

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 also 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.

L. Ron Hubbard

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

Reviews for Wind-Gone-Mad

[bruce_deming_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

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.
