Book Descriptions:

Orders Is Orders: The Chinese city of Shunkien is under siege by the Japanese. In the middle sits the American consulate packed with refugees facing starvation and cholera. Marine Gunnery Sergeant James Mitchell is their only hope. But he’ll have to negotiate 200 miles of bullets, bombs, and one bombshell dancer to get there. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Brooke Bloom, Corey Burton, Jim Meskimen, and Michael Yurchak.

Sabotage in the Sky: Bill Trevillian, an ace pilot who tests new fighter planes for the Allied Forces, is competing to get a multi-million-dollar aircraft contract. But covert enemy agents have tampered with the new warbird, deliberately marking it for failure regardless of the cost. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Crispian Belfrage, Marisol Nichols, and Shane Johnson.

Hostage to Death: Lieutenant Bill Reilly has been banished to the “suicide section” of the Foreign Legion and sent to incite war between the Spanish and local Berber tribesmen so the French can invade a weakened Morocco. Everything goes as planned until his superiors change their strategy and leave Reilly caught in the middle with no way out. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Kelly Ward, Phil Proctor, Charles Fathy, Jim Meskimen, and Christina Huntington.

Wind-Gone-Mad: Jim Dahlgren, Amalgamated Aeronautical Company’s rep in China, has had enough of the fatalistic brand of diplomacy that allows warlords like “The Butcher” to rise up in the provinces. But when Dahlgren disappears, the mysterious aviator called Feng-Feng arrives to bring the Butcher’s administration to its knees. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Shane Johnson, James King, Michael Yurchak, Jim Meskimen, Paul Wertheimer, and Tamra Meskimen.

On Blazing Wings: Pilot David Duane believes in but one cause—his own. Duane heads off to war in Europe, selling his deadly skills to the highest bidder. But now he is about to take off on a flight that will open his eyes—and his heart. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Bob Caso, Christina Huntington, John Mariano, Kelly Ward, and Phil Proctor.
