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.
Resumen del Editor
The trail through the Land of Burning Water tests Bonys endurance to the limit and takes the detective as close to death as he has ever been.

Historia
Why was the redoubtable King Henry, an aborigine from Western Australia, killed during a thunderstorm in New South Wales? What was the feud that led to murder after nineteen long years had passed? And who was the woman who saw the murder and kept silent? This first story of Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte, the half-aborigine detective, takes him to a sheep station in the Darling River bush country where he encounters those problems he understands so well... mixed blood and divided loyalties.

Historia
Colonial politics in Kyauktada, India, in the 1920s, come to a head when the European Club, previously for whites only, is ordered to elect one token native member. The deeply racist members do their best to manipulate the situation, resulting in the loss not only of reputations but of lives. Amid this cynical setting, timber merchant James Flory, a Brit with a genuine appreciation for the native people and culture, stands as a bridge between the warring factions. But he has trouble acting on his feelings, and the significance of his vote, both social and political, weighs on him.

Historia
In unforgettable tales of innocence lost under African skies, we follow Godwin's awakening to the often savage struggle between Whites and Blacks, his horror when he is forced to fight in a civil war he detests, and his experiences as a journalist covering the country's violent transition to Black rule as Rhodesia's colonial era comes to an end and the new state of Zimbabwe is born from its bloody ashes. Mukiwa is a poignant, compelling memoir and an invaluable addition to the literature of southern Africa.

Historia
Black Mischief, Waugh's third novel, helped to establish his reputation as a master satirist. Set on the fictional African island of Azania, the novel chronicles the efforts of Emperor Seth, assisted by the Englishman Basil Seal, to modernize his kingdom. Profound hilarity ensues from the issuance of homemade currency, the staging of a "Birth Control Gala", the rightful ruler's demise at his own rather long and tiring coronation ceremonies, and a good deal more mischief.

Claude Wheeler resembles the youngest son of an American fairy tale. His fortune is ready-made for him, but he refuses to settle for it. Alienated from his crass father and pious mother, all but rejected by a wife who reserves her ardor for missionary work, and dissatisfied with farming, Claude is an idealist without an ideal to cling to. It is only when his country enters the First World War that Claude finds what he has been searching for all his life.

This book talks about the experiences of hunter and conservationist Jim Corbett, during his years in the United Provinces, or what is now known as Uttarakhand. Here we see a different side to Corbett, not as the intrepid hunter of big cats but a man who blends seamlessly with the mountain folk of Northern India. Join him in his adventures and feel the thrills of hunting; follow him into dense forests as he encounters a dreaded dacoit who has a heart of gold; and enjoy the tales of love, loyalty, and resilience of simple villagers.

Walker's richly interwoven novel opens with the arrival of a mysterious package for a young American woman working in a London auction house. Brought by a British officer, it contains a 17,000-year-old fragment of a cave painting left to him by his father, a former World War II hero. The fragment, significant and stunning in itself, is also the key to the existence of an unknown cave that may be more important in the history of art and human creation than the world-famous one at Lascaux.

In what many refer to as one of the first and greatest science fiction thrillers, a mysterious stranger wanders into an inn, wrapped head-to-toe in bandages. What lies beneath the bandages is something even more mysterious. As Wells tackles issues of identity, deception, and the deterioration of the human mind, listeners will be drawn into the story of the mysterious man, whose own mistakes end up whisking him into a whirlwind of deceit, terror, and even murder. In the end, the question will be asked: when your sense of self and identity vanish, who will you become?

Bravo Bony!
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.

Another Entertaining Bony Mystery
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.

A Page Turner, Upfield at his best
The combination of a great and riveting storyline with a tremendous performance by Peter Hosking...incredible. Don't start this book if you think you will listen yourself to sleep, you'll be on the edge of your bed once the momentum of the tale takes you over. Really wonderful.

I am disappointed
'Bushranger of the Skies'. This is the 8th book in the series by Arthur W. Upfield, and I have enjoy and delighted in each of them … before this book. The lack of stars are not due to the writing by the author who is on form, nor to the reading of the book by Peter Hosking, who is superb as usual. The lack of stars are due to the plot. It is unforgivably terrible. In order to advance the story in the direction the author wished it to go, he has the hero of his books, the redoubtable and brilliant Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte to be more stupid than the stupid and bumbling Inspector Clouseau of Pink Panther fame. Not only that, but the beautiful damsel in distress, who is given brains as well as beauty when we are introduced to her, proceeds to prove herself as stupid and naive as the simplest fool ever introduced to us in literature and in real life – and valiantly refuses to change. And Inspector Bonaparte by accepting her weak and idiotic arguments, allows her to be kidnapped … which the reader could see coming a mile off. Far, far too contrived. Pathetic. Some of the stars are admittedly taken off because of the shear disappointment that such transparent and amateurish manipulations were used. 'Till now, this was a great series and thoroughly enjoyable.
