highly recommend! great reader!

(5 Sterne)

Some of these sci fi shorts were quite outstanding. Edmund Bloxam is a phenomenal reader and made even the mediocre stories shine!

A fun collection with a couple of new (to me) stories.

Fantastic reading

(4 Sterne)

it's a good line-up and well narrated.

Stories for old white males.

(5 Sterne)

Not appropriate for a modern audience. These interesting SF stories take place in a world entirely lacking gay nonbinary anal sex between BIPOCs and LatinX Americans. Only a NAZI could like these stories
