Gr 9 Up—L. Ron Hubbard gained fame and name recognition as the founder of Scientology and the author of Dianetics, but his novels and short stories often go unmentioned. This World War II-era story, first published in The pilot meets people who have previously died, including those he has personally killed, and pursues romance with a forbidden Russian woman, all after being shot down in a strange and mysterious place. Narrator Bob Caso and five other cast members make a valiant attempt to bring this pulp novella to life, performing amidst gunfire and other sound effects, but they can't overcome the story line. Take a pass and give students something more current.—Bernie Morrissey, The Harker School, San Jose, CA
