Another Fine Performance

I have been very pleased with these dramatized readings of the old Shadow pulps, and this one is no exception.

When a businessman of note disappears after returning from a trip to Russia, the Shadow sets his forces to track the man down. After discovering his location, the Shadow discovers a plot to carry out a great theft and has mere days to make his way back and forth across the Atlantic to deliver justice.

The Romanoff Jewels is one of the stories that showcases the Shadow’s adaptability in foreign lands as well as in New York. It’s always interesting to hear of scenarios wherein the Shadow’s skills are put to a new challenge.

The cast once again put forth fine performances. Like with the others, they are just serious enough to offer tension, yet have an undeniable cheese factor that makes them just the slightest bit humorous, reminiscent of the radio shows of the 30s.

As a long time Shadow fan, is brings me great joy that the books are getting some recognition almost a century since their inception.

Favorite Shadow pulp so far..Incredible story,

Fantastic writing , Story has twists and turns. Suspenseful moments all the way through.

One of the best shadow stories

This is hands down one of the best most action packed shadow stories the author ever wrote. It’s got everything from international intrigue to murder to jewel smuggling. Awesome !!

Another pulp Winner! The Shadow Knows!

This is another full cast recording of a classic Shadow pulp from Walter Gibson. It may well be the best one Audible has done to date. The cast is in fine form here and the story is one of the stronger entries in the long running series. These full cast productions exist almost as a kind of longer form version of Old Time Radio reordered today with better sound and effects. What an absolute treat. For my money, these are better than the single reader versions Audible has also tried. i certainly hope this series continues and that Audible gives us more multi voice cast performances. Who knows what plans lurk in the hearts of Audible producers? The Shadow Knows! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Great story

More stories should be made available. The Shadow was the king of Pulps. Hundreds of stories written, only 2 available.

Amazing

I want more of these almost like a old radio sh
ow and I love white listening about the shadow

More, please

Dear Audible, Please record more multi-cast performances of these fun stories. The narrator captures the tone wonderfully and the excursions into radioland are a welcome variance in the huge Audible catalog.

Some of the best of Pulp

I love the old Shadow books and buy them whenever I can find them, and the old radio show as well. The fact this was full cast made this the best of both worlds. Please make more of these.

Please, more Pulps of The Shadow!

Absolute best thing on Audible. Walter Gibson was a genius and The Shadow is the best fictional character, ever. Great narration. Richard Ferrone is perfect for The Shadow!

Wonderfully created audio story

The characters come alive in this masterful, full cast audio production of timeless The Shadow.
