An extraordinary case for Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte opens when a police car is bombed from the air on a lonely outback road by a mysterious pilot who plans to conquer a nation. The trail through the Land of Burning Water tests Bony's endurance to the limit and takes the detective as close to death as he has ever been.©1940 William Upfield (P)1999 Bolinda Publishing Misterio Procedimientos policiales Suspenso Thriller y Suspenso Ficción

Reseñas editoriales

In Arthur Upfield’s page-turning Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte mystery, originally published in 1940, the sinister Rex McPherson, a biracial Aboriginal pilot hell-bent on establishing his own empire, quite literally drops a bomb on an unsuspecting Queensland police officer and in the process nearly takes the life of Bony, our embattled hero who purses the bushranger on a perilous quest through the land of Burning Water.

Peter Hosking’s robust Australian lilt and lively performance elevates this quintessentially Australian tale that is as much thrilling mystery as it is an interesting snapshot of racial relations at the time in the sun-scorched Outback.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Written and set in rural Australia in the 1930s, Bushranger features Upfield's serial detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, whose task it is to stop murderous pilot Rex MacPherson from taking over his father's ranch. As Bonaparte dodges bombs and treks through miles of scrub, he is both helped and hindered by rival Aborigine tribes. Hosking has the requisite Aussie accent and the ability to differentiate characters as he narrates the story from dramatic opening to satisfying conclusion. Only the Aborigine pidgin seems demeaning in these politically correct times. Upfield admired the native Australians, but his condescending views led him to be banned from school curricula. Ironically, both the hero and villain here are half-castes." (AudioFile Magazine)

Would you consider the audio edition of Bushranger of the Skies to be better than the print version?

Not the best story in the fleet, but still worthy of a listen. Twists and turns to make it engaging.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bushranger of the Skies?

not one, just hearing all the wonderful accents and words. And of course the numerous cups of tea to be had.

Bravo Bony!

Narration: Usual excellent narration, although I do wish he would pronounce "Scot" correctly, not Scotch.

Story: Now fifth of his stories to which I have listened. Plots are formulaic but still fun.

Recommended for anyone wanting to know a bit about Aussie history and language.
