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
Author
Lafayette Ronald 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. While, as such, he presents the culmination of science and spiritual technology as embodied in the religion of Scientology. For an in-depth look at his life, visit www.LRonHubbard.org
