About this audiobook
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 The Devil-With Wings
34 ratings12 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Received from Member Giveaways.Like The Dive Bomber, The Devil - With Wings tends to high drama and excitement.While the story certainly provided a fast and action-filled pace and Mr. Hubbard certainly provided an interesting story, it is one that works better for someone who might appreciate this type of story more than I did.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a summer type read in which one can lay back and relax or tighten up for a cool adventure. This book is dated, but still reads like a fun comic strip from yesteryear.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I don't recommend this book, because philosophy is always woven into a writers works, and this author's philosophy is strange. This is good production for an audio book, but it is the content that I dislike from a philosophical perspective.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A superb spy plot it classic style of the golden age era.
What great scampy characters and a fine tight plot. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received several L. Ron Hubbard's stories on CD from the Early Reviewers and have to admit I had never heard or read any of his works before. My family and I listened to the audio books in the car while traveling and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised at the entertainment value. The sound effects and voice variations were engaging and the pulp fiction stories helped the time pass quickly. My teenage daughter loved the historical value and happy endings while my boys stayed interested due to the action scenes and the characters. All-in-all, we were a very happy family and my husband and I found these readings opened several conversations with the kids we might not have had otherwise, especially talking about old radio shows and families gathering to listen-in on a weekly basis! We are passing these along to my sister-in-law and her family to enjoy during their travels as well. The audio books have more than earned the 4 star rating from us. The paperback books, on-the-other hand get a mere 3 stars as they were not as entertaining as the adventurous readings.My rating system is as follows:5 stars - Excellent, Worth Every Penny, Made It Into My Personal Library!4 stars - Great book, but not a classic. Passing on for others as a must read & encourage to review. 3 stars - Good overall, generally well written with few errors. Passing on to community library for others to enjoy.2 stars - Would not recommend based on personal criteria, too many typo's, lack of character development, or simply unreliable story-line for me.1 star - Difficult to read, hard to finish, or didn't finish. Wouldn't recommend purchasing or reading.In accordance with the FTC Guidelines for blogging and endorsements, you should assume that every book I review was provided to me by the publisher, media group or the author for free and no financial payments were received, unless specified otherwise.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received several of these Hubbard audio books from librarything.com. The Devil – With Wings seems darker, more fatalistic than the others in the series and I could easily have imagined Hubbard might choose a black ending rather than the usual hero saves the day. "The Devil with Wings" is what the Japanese occupying Manchuria call the mysterious agent of their misfortune. Clad entirely in black but for glinting aviator goggles and a silver belt buckle, the merciless Devil with Wings strikes fear into the hearts of Japanese soldiers and hope into the Chinese resistance. This time though, his bitter enemy, Captain Ito Shinohari, has set the perfect trap. The Devil with Wings recently killed Bob Westin, an American engineer, and Shinohari knows that all he needs to do is follow Weston's sister, Patricia, who intends to avenge her brother's death. The ensemble cast does an excellent job. Bob Caso provides comic relief playing The Devil with Wing's sidekick, Yale-educated sports star Ching Tze-chang. Background effects are good, as in all of the books in this series.We can imagine that Galaxy Press, publishers of these audiobooks, is a Scientologist outfit, but there is nothing that points directly to a link.You need to save the cast list that comes in the mailer because there seems to be no other list online or in the main packaging of these Galaxy Press audio books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent production and acting make for a fun listen. Questionable content for younger listeners. Content is not edited for current political correctness, so overly sensative listeners may balk. No Scientology within.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Reviewed for LibraryThing as an early reviewer.Story synopsis: This story is set in China with the Japanese cast as the invaders. Working for China, the brother of Patricia Weston has sent her a message hidden in a statue before he is captured and forced to work for the Japanese. Ching Tze-chang, the Devil with Wings sets out to regain this message and rescue the girl.Review: The only negative with the technology on this product is a small glitch on the first CD. One line is repeated three times, and it is quite apparent that it is not an affectation of the story. This is probably the best acted story of the set I’ve heard. The accents never waiver and the sound effects lend credence to the setting. Since this tale is from the 1930s, the listener is fairly sure of the ending but is left in doubt until the end of the very last chapter.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A short but entertaining book. It is not deep in plot but has historical basis. The hero is bigger than life and the story is idealizing. I liked it for the example of bravery and wit of the hero. If you are looking for something intellectual, this is not it. Merely entertaining.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very exciting audiobook! Has lots of sound effects, and a great story! I turned it up for my fiance' to hear a snippet of it, and she thought aloud, "Wow, what book IS this?" I would definitely recommend it if you've read Ron Hubbard's books in the past. The voices make it exciting, and the gunshots, airplanes overhead, and sounds of footsteps keep you on your ears' toes. It's a good listen for a trip, or in my case a few trips to work and back! The different voices, Japanese and English alike, keep the story interesting. I never found myself wandering off for too long.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great audio book will look forward to listing to the other's these audio book's are so interting the keep me on my toe's to see what happen's next. Just when I think that the stories will go one way they go another. That's alway's a good thing to keep the reader wondering what's going to happen next.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received a set of L. Ron Hubbard audiobooks to review. This was one of them. The audiobook portion was very well-done and was more like a radio drama of old and less like a traditional audiobook. I did not care for the actual book though.
