THE PROFESSOR WAS A THIEF

The awesome possibilities of science take center stage in this installment of Stories from the Golden Age. The collection features three tales: A newspaper reporter discovers why New York City landmarks are mysteriously shrinking, a space colonist must rely on science to outwit the fear-mongering magic of a distant planet, and a professor who discovers "Equation C" finds himself teleporting through the galaxy at a single stray thought. As in other editions in the series, the narrators deliver capable acting. Music is stellar, as are the otherworldly sound effects. While we may not dream of Mars in the way that we did in Hubbard's day, polished production makes these speculative stories good listening.
