Ross was a junior trader on Halsey's Planet, and had great prospects but was not happy at all. Everything smelled of decay. The whole planet seemed to be slowly disappearing, the population dwindling month by month and year by year and yet no one seemd to care or even notice. Something was very, very wrong. When the first interstellar transport in 30 years arrived on Halsey's Planet, it brought things to a head. The ship had touched on six other colony worlds - and all six had been devoid of human life. Where was everybody? It was almost as if humankind, when separated by cosmic distances from Mother Earth, could not survive. He didn't know the answer but he knew it all smelled highly of decay. Decay and Rot. This highly praised novel by C.M.Kornbluth and Frederick Pohl was first published in 1954 was seen as a wonderful satire on various trends in the society of the 1950's. - Summary by phil Chenevert (6 hr 47 min)

Really enjoyed this interplanetary tale that has our protagonist go in search for the reasons why his own planet is falling into decay. As always PC does a sublime job narrating the story.

Starts out good and thought there would be a clever explanation for what’s going wrong but it just drags out like mini horror stories and suddenly ends with a revelation! Which is nothing.
A great reading of an enjoyable book.

An interesting look at man and the various societies which he has set up (and will set up)
The title is a little odd, for the story.
