Spies in the sky - always a fun concept
Richard Knight was a pulp hero in the 1940s, now revived by the Pulp Obscura line with this anthology of new stories. The basic concept is a simple one and adequately explaining in the introduction: rich playboy Richard Knight is secretly top spy Q, an ace pilot with a secret identity. The supporting cast are also given a reasonable role; he is assisted by his partner the plain and honest Larry Doyle and his superior General Brett while a romance interest is provided by Brett's ward Benita. Real-world issues and politics of the era between wars is mixed with fantastic concepts such as death rays and monsters now normally relegated to science fiction. The stories in the anthology have no real relation to each other but all follow a consistent style and tone while still providing their own unique variations.
In Hell's Hand by Josh Reynolds Knight must face a band of airborne pirates terrorising European air-travel and destabilising its fragile peace. The villain is effectively ruthless and twisted but while his insanity is shown clearly his motives and origin are not included. The story worked with a strong premise but felt as if it were too short to do it justice and the ending in particular seems abrupt compared to its build-up. Nonetheless, the near continuous action and the chilling descriptions make up for the simplicity of the narrative and the both threat and Knight's competence in meeting it are well established
Doyle is given a larger role in Richard Knight and the Stones Of Heaven by Barry Reese and provides both solid back up for Knight and some welcome humor to the narrative. A group of artefact-hunting Nazis clashing with Knight in their efforts to build a death ray is a very traditional story but still retains its charm. The writing is strong and engaging and the only possible criticism is that the one aerial battle is limited, included because it is a standard feature of Keyhoe's plots rather than for its contribution to the narrative. The story is split into chapters in the style of the original stories and this works well in breaking up the action and the stages of what is in essence a step-by-step story.
When a freak crash leads to the destruction of a whole town Knight is left struggling against an invading force and an unkillable monster in The Bapet by Terry Alexander.
