Lauded by authors and critics alike as a work of trend-setting importance in modern speculative fiction, Typewriter in the Sky is an extravaganza of vivid action/adventure and dazzling fantasy.Pianist Mike de Wolf suddenly finds himself the main character in a resounding adventure story of danger and derring-do on the buccaneering Spanish Main, being written by his friend, Horace Hackett. Hackett devises a story plot that casts Mike in the unwilling role of Miguel de Lobo, Lord High Admiral of the Spanish Fleet. Bewildered, embattled on every side, Mike-as-Miguel finds himself engulfed in bloody battles, caught up in an impossible romantic intrigue with a stunning English heiress and helpless to change a destiny being dictated unrelentingly by the elusive sound of a "Typewriter in the Sky". "An adventure story written in the great style adventures should be written in." —Clive Cussler "I particularly like Typewriter in the Sky because it was such a skillful parity of adventure fiction and was written with a great deal of lightness and touch. —James Gunn
