up to at any given moment.
Danger in The Dark by L. Ron Hubbard
Narrated by Karen Black, et al.
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
Remember the old science fiction and fantasy magazines? You know, the ones that featured short stories
written by great sci-fi authors. Listening to this audiobook was like going back to those old pulps and
reliving the golden age of sci-fi. This collection contains three short stories written by L. Ron Hubbard
that are as diverse in subject matter as they are enjoyable to hear.
Paul of Dune by Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson
Narrated by Scott Brick
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
In the world of science-fiction, one of the best series of books to come down the pike is
the Dune series created by Frank Herbert. After Frank Herbert's death, his son,
Brian Herbert, teamed up with sci-fi author Kevin J. Anderson and pretty much wrapped up
the series by providing 6 prequel and 2 sequel books. So with all of that taken care
of, one has to ask, what more is there in the Dune Universe?
Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks by David Whitaker
Multicast performance starring Frazer Hines
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
The episode begins with the Doctor and Jamie trying to track down thieves who stole the TARDIS. After some
mysterious clues the Doctor and Jamie track down an antiques dealer whose antiques
are authentic but new. This leads the Doctor and Jamie to be captured by the dealer and the Daleks and
taken back in time to 1866.
Batman: The Stone King by Alan Grant
A Multicast Production
an audio review podcast by Gil T. Wilson
A dam near Gotham City is about to burst and Batman has
determined the dam cannot be saved but the citizens of Gotham city must be protected. Batman calls for the
help from Justice League members to create a "safe dam break." After the turmoil when all the Justice League
members are getting their breath and looking over the destruction created by the rushing waters, The Green
Lantern notices a strange object. Uncovered by the erosion of the sudden rushing waters is a pyramid, not
unlike those in Egypt.

Performed by Scott Brick
an audio review podcast by AudioFile Magazine
It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill.
Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there, lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignment -- find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!
Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
Performed by the author
an audio review podcast by AudioFile Magazine

Nation by Terry Pratchett
Narrated by Stephen Briggs

Stepping away from his Discworld universe, Terry Pratchett has written a children's book that will appeal to
both kids and adults. When a mile-high tidal wave crashes through the South Seas, 13-year year old native
islander Mau and 13-year-old English castaway Daphne believe they are the sole survivors this cataclismic
change has brought to their perspective worlds.
The Great Secret by L. Ron Hubbard
Multicast performance featuring Bruce Boxleitner
an audio review podcast by Brian Price
The Great Secret is a collection of 4 short stories that are the stuff of 30s
and 40s pulp fiction. L. Ron Hubbard was a master of the form and, in the next six years, Galaxy Audio
plans to bring scores of these stories to life. This is one of the first science fiction titles in their planned series.
1984 by George Orwell
Performed by Simon Prebble
an audio review podcast by Brian Price for AudioFile Magazine
Doublethink, thought police, constant surveillance, never-ending war. Although this classic dystopian novel was written
in 1949, Orwell's lean prose, finely honed political discourse, and penetrating images seem as fresh, as menacing, and as
disturbingly prophetic as ever. With British equanimity, Simon Prebble accentuates every shade of gray in post-Blitzed-London.
The Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Jack Finney
Performed by Kristoffer Tabori
an audio review podcast by Brian Price for AudioFile Magazine
In this science fiction classic, the world's population is being taken over by an alien race. Kristoffer Tabori reads the first-person narrative with gritty intensity, reminding listeners of a smart and sinister 1950's detective novel. This production reminds us why it's called a classic.
Sunrise Alley by Catherine Asaro
Performed by Hillary Huber
an audio review podcast by Brian Price
A man, barely alive, is washed ashore during a violent, raging storm and is found and nursed back to health by Samantha Bryton, a retired, reclusive and brilliant Silicon Valley scientist. The man, who was supposed to have been killed in an automobile accident weeks earlier, is actually an illegally built android, an EI (Evolutionary Intelligence). Soon Samantha and Turner Pascal are on the run from Charon, Turner's evil creator, the military (everybody's on the run from the military), and other EIs and AIs from the notorious Sunrise Alley, where many rogue Artificial intelligences hide while planning an attack on humans.
Dune by Frank Herbert
Performed by Simon Vance and a full cast
an audio review podcast by AudioFile Magazine
Listening to Dune offers the opportunity to experience this classic work in a way that manages to feel comfortably familiar and surprisingly new at the same time. The story of Paul Atreides and the fulfillment of his destiny on the desert planet Arrakis is brought vividly to life in this outstanding production.
Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis
Performed by Todd McLaren
an audio review by Brian Price
Warren Ellis wears his heart and his politics on his sleeve in this darkly humorous and twisted detective-genre tale of the near future. Down on his luck private eye, Mike McGill, stares out his office window at a crumbling, drug-infested, distopian New York City wondering where his rent's going to come from when a big black limousine pulls up and a cadaverous President's Chief-of-Staff climbs out and gives McGill a strange assignment -- find and retrieve the alien-influenced alternate Constitution of the United States.
