In the Blue Light of African Dreams Audiobook

Quotes

• “In Blue Light, Watkins has succeeded admirably where most nonflying authors fail. He has completely captured the peculiar rhythms of men who fly…Beau Geste meets Waldo Pepper [set] to a concert of murder, betrayal, extortion, cheap cognac, and psychotic despair in the solitary confinement of the Sahara…Watkins writes beautifully.”

  — Los Angeles Times

• “Paul Watkins writes adventure of the highest order…Reminiscent of Hemingway, this classic will propel you into a bygone age of true explorers.”

  — Guardian (London)

• “Watkins writes compellingly…This Ahab dreams in blue, but in his daylight transatlantic flight the issues of good and evil finally determine whether or not he succeeds. Recommended.”

  — Library Journal

• “Watkins again provides wealths of technicolor immediacy, high vividness, and gripping detail…The look, feel, and surface exotica of half a century ago or more—varnished wooden propellers, frail canvas planes, edge-of-your-seat fights and flights in the air—in a skillful and historically based blood-sweat-and-tears adventure-melodrama.”
