Bruno Stachel is a nobody, a newly recruited junior officer in a First World War combat squadron. But he is determined not to remain a nobody for long. He has his sights on the Blue Max, the most coveted of all German decorations, and he will do anything to get it. From the very moment he shoots down his first plane, everything he does is aimed at that goal. This world-famous novel of deadly combat in the skies tells the story of the men who killed for the Blue Max - and died for it. It tells the story of Stachel - murderer and alcoholic. His meteoric rise to glory alienated him from his fellow pilots and, ultimately, from human decency. Then there is Kettering - collector of pornography. He became the victim of Stachels ruthless ambition. Also, Von Klugermann - the haughty aristocrat. He delved too deeply into Stachels torment, only to discover a cobra. And finally Kaeti - the woman who knew them all. Arrogant noblewoman, black- mailing nymphomaniac - and Stachels beautiful mistress. Critic Reviews: "Jack D. Hunter, who served as an American agent behind the German lines in World War II, writes with impressive authority about Germans and with absolutely astounding authority about the combat airplanes of World War I. His story moves fast and includes much tersely eloquent conversation." (New York Times) [Grover Gardners] readingproves effortlessly engaging as the listener becomes absorbed in a story so well written that it needs little interpretive assistance. [Gardner] is one of those readers who can become transparent, leaving no distinct impression of themselves, only the text. This is no small accomplishment, requiring as it does an execution free of any distracting flaws. (AudioFile)
