Murray Leinster
(4,413 Sterne; 150 Bewertungen)
In science-fiction, as in all categories of fiction, there are stories that are so outstanding from the standpoint of characterization, concept, and background development that they remain popular for decades. Two such stories were Murray Leinster's The Mad Planet and Red Dust. Originally published in 1923, they have been reprinted frequently both here and abroad. They are now scheduled for book publication. Especially for this magazine, Murray Leinster has written the final story in the series. It is not necessary to have read the previous stories to enjoy this one. Once again, Burl experiences magnificent adventures against a colorful background, but to the whole the author has added philosophical and psychological observations that give this story a flavor seldom achieved in science-fiction. - Summary by Original magazine blurb from Science Fiction Plus, June 1953 (1 hr 47 min)

Murray Leinster's Burl series is, as of finishing this book, decidedly my favorite of all the 100-or-so hours of scifi I've heard from librivox. This is now the bar for 5 stars which other works will have to reach. (Plus, I'm sure my young son will absolutely love my retelling of this adventure). The narrator for this recording did a great job, too. His voice has some good atmosphere to it -- thanks for reading!

Interesting & has me wondering about the first TV series I really liked. As did my brother & sister along with mom. Every Tuesday nite about 8 we watched it. All of us. With 7-8 channels, most shows were pretty good. This one though was excellent! It was called Star Trek.....
Fine story

It's a wonderful cap to the series. It's fine as a standalone story. But, if I were you, I would listen to the series in order - - it will be much more meaningful
Very much enjoyed this

Excellent reading by Zachary! I'm left the sad understanding that what was quickly becoming a society of health, prosperity, & happiness will degenerate into one of disease, want, & meaninglessness.
well read , not so well written

A worthy end to the trilogy, it had me gripped in the story right to the end. Beautifully read too.

This is just the retelling of the end of the "Forgotten Planet," the reader did a good job.
Wow - 10 stars!
