A GALAXY TRILOGY, VOL. 4 Across Time, Mission to a Star, The Rim of Space

Some of the best science fiction stories ever get another shot at being heard. The production contains three novellas from the long-gone sci-fi pulp magazine GALAXY, which ceased publication in 1980. Narrator Tom Weiner vocalizes not only various human dialects and accents but also bizarre alien voices. He has the dramatic chops to transport listeners to the outer rim of the galaxy, as well as to a world in which strange whale-like humans live in water. Weiner successfully strikes a chord of anxiety in the story of human-like aliens who come to Earth bearing gifts—at a cost. Overall, Weiner’s performance helps make these stories sound as relevant today as they were 30 years ago. M.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2010]
