Sea Fangs
Bob Sherman has a strength of character and purpose that would make Spencer Tracy. But signing on to the crew of the yacht Bonito, he'll need every ounce of his strength and courage to overcome the forces arrayed against him in Sea Fangs.
He'll take on the forces of nature—a hurricane smashing into the boat off the Venezuelan coast. He'll stand up to the forces of ignorance—Bonito's incompetent captain. He'll defy the forces of corruption—the boat's owner, who stripped him of his land years ago. And he'll fight the forces of evil—a ruthless band of pirates who take all aboard, including the owner's daughter, to the uncharted Island of Death.
His fate intertwined with a woman whose father stole everything he valued, Sherman is about to discover that there's one force as powerful, unpredictable and dangerous as the sea itself … the force of a beautiful woman's love.
“A must for his legions of fans and an impressive tribute to his storytelling skills.” —The Midwest

This is a terrific old slam-bang pulp adventure, first published in Five Novels Magazine in June, 1934. You've got pirates, a hurricane, dungeon escapes, a brave sea captain who's been done wrong, a rich old guy who goes through Alger-esque sin and redemption, and his plucky and pretty daughter, who has to save our hero rather than sitting about as a damsel in distress waiting for him to rescue her. It's short, but it packs a punch... I think it's one of Hubbard's best.

I listened again to this story on audio book to freshen it in my mind.
The sound effects are a truly amazing compliment and quite abundant due to the setting on the sea during a hurricane at the onset and various shoot outs later with fine detail on the lesser events with doors opening or stones dropping. I have a set of Sony studio monitor headphones (MDR-V6) that I am very happy with that do a great job with helping me enjoy every nuance of the sound experience. (Better equipment will enhance your realistic experience).
Bob Sherman and Phyllis Marmion are the main characters who make the main story line, performed impeccably by Shane Johnson and Kristin Proctor.
Bob is the tough seasoned adventurer and mariner and Phyllis the romantic adoring heroine who comes to the fore more than once when Bob is in a pinch. And she comes up big and unexpectedly in a small boat with a machine gun without too much fuss or loss of composure just doing what she thought was needed to help out.
When they are separated she is quite capable of her own thinking and seems like a gal trying to get to a dinner date (or wedding), cutting down the enemy and staying ladylike and concerned for Bob all the while. Circumstances make Bob a tough date, but why mess up the dress much in the way too? It is pulled of so perfectly.
Very well done and good execution of the story line by all performers.

I drive a pretty long way to work each day – some days spending over an hour in my car each way. So I enjoy listening to Audio Books. I was recently given the opportunity to listen to some Stories from the Golden Age. These Audio tapes are about 2 hours long and Galaxy Press has over 150 audiobook stories in their collection by L. Ron Hubbard.
The nice thing about these audiobooks is that there is a lot of action in them and you can hear the different characters – with lots of sound effects. There is also a wide variety of book types including scifi, fantasy, western, mystery, adventure and more.
The first story I listened to was Sea Fangs ~This was a story with both a hero and heroine who fall in love. Sailor Bob Sherman was trying to save a yacht from being capsized in a hurricane. The owners daughter Phyllis was on the ship and believed in Bob. The yacht was saved only to be taken over by some pirates and all were taken captive. How do they get out? You will need to listen to this interesting Audiobook to find out.

“ A Great Tale of Rough Seas and Pirates.”
Bob Sherman had lost everything to a greedy man, and then was held captive among a band of pirates. Escaping from the Island of Death, he made plans to regain what was taken from him, finding passage as a sailor on the Bonito, only to be thrown into a raging hurricane, then cast back on the shores of the Island of Death once more. But this time they have the woman he loves, and win or lose he’ll do anything to save her.
This was another great adventure tale from the imagination of L. Ron Hubbard, a writer who crossed many genres during his pulp career. This action yarn was originally published in the June 1934 issue of FIVE NOVELS. Highly recommended for anyone that loves a great action adventure yarn.

The story captivates you and pulls you in. Listening to Sea Fangs brought me back and reminded me of the old radio shows I used to listen to. This is due to the story telling style, and not the quality of the audio, which I found to be superb.
The upside to the audio is that i can do other things while I follow along. This story still managed to disrupt my life, and I lounged around as the story unfolded. I didn't want to do anything but listen, and that isn't normal for me.
