The Valkyrie, Germany’s greatest zeppelin is flying over America showing their superiority over our air space. In New York it takes on Tony Quinn and his aides, as well as Captain McGrath, who is publicizing the rehabilitation of a career criminal. This is to give plausibility to the plot. The trip plans stops in Chicago and L.A. While en route to Chicago a valuable ruby is stolen from a countess, and prints on the safe are revealed as those of the career criminal. But other things are happening. There appears to be a mysterious German team aboard, and one of them has a cloak of invisibility.The whole story takes place on the airship, which gives it a fun read. The theft of the ruby is a red herring, however, and the real plot is the destruction of the zeppelin, with thousands of deaths, and clues to America causing the disaster.
The author switches roles with the aides a bit. Butch doesn’t get to bang any heads together, and it’s Silk who does the fisticuffs, while lovely Carol does the shooting (yeah, inside a gas bag). Plus, I didn’t think the setting was a good choice for The Black Bat, though the story was well written and plotted. The magic cloak was a bit odd for the pulp character, too, though Germany was sure into the occult at the time; though the pulps usually tried to give explanations to the reader for mysteries like invisibility. And we’re told that when the career criminal was rehabilitated, he was given new fingerprints. Really? That one I really wanted explained. But in the end, this was a fun read, and the author kept me involved in the story. Highly recommended.

DEATH RIDES THE VALKYRIE A Black Bat Adventure edition by Andrew Salmon Mike Fyles Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I've enjoyed author Andrew Salmon's Sherlock Holmes stories, especially those in the "Fight Card" series, so I decided to check out his Black Bat novel. It's a revival of an old pulp magazine crime fighter who is now nearly forgotten. Salmon has a knack for writing new stories that feature classic characters and have the flavor of the past genres they come from. He does his homework on that front and on the historical settings and details of the stories he creates. If someone had told me "Death Rides the Valkyrie" was one of the original Black Bat stories I'd have believed it. If you're a classic pulp fan like me, that's a good thing. Plus the story is set on a giant Zeppelin airship, which makes it especially cool.
