This narrator is really irritating. As another listener wrote... The lilting.... Makes it... So... Difficult... to .... Listen.... With any... Interest ... Because.... He chops off... The sentences.... in a ... Weird, really weird way.
Thanks for making this available on Y Tube. I loved this book as a 12 y. o. boy and still do today. "The Secret of Saturn's Rings" and "Trouble on Titan" were similar stories. All 3 books were published by Wiley & Sons and had its Trademark logo on the spine..a rocket ship surrounded by a circle. All 3 books instilled in me, now 71, a life-long love of Sci Fi.
I had a similar experience at about the same age and time but I can't remember the title of the book I read then which also resulted in a lifelong love of Sci Fi. It was a similar Boys Own Adventure about space explorers. But this would have worked for me then as well. A gripping and imaginative book.
1. Decades after this story was written, Pluto is no longer considered to be a planet, but rather, a dwarf planet, of which there are many. 2. U.S. mastered anti-gravity in 1954, and concealed the fact, although many Earth spaceships utilize that technology, including the Lockheed TR-3B, which see.
This narrator . .... Always kind of bothers me a little .... Because of his lilting tone and ... weird. ..... Little pauses every few words. haha. It doesn't bug me enough to make me stop listening though. I appreciate that I get this for free and don't have to read it for myself.
Yes. Some head bashing can take place, but if one is not listening closely they would know no different. But I can here him clearly, and that’s the most important factor to me. Thanks for reading this!
Afraid I'll have to take your word for it - this narrator makes everything, even good old space opera, an exercise in tedium for me. Sounds like he overdid the prozac before picking up the book. He'd be better suited to Laurie Lee style dross
Fun old boy adventure tale! But am I to woke if I noticed their are NO women in this story. His mother doesn’t even get to say if he can go or not. And he does have a mother, she’s not dead, because it mentioned her once as he was thinking about leaving freinds and family.
Enjoy and subscribe for more!

Excellent book and many thanks to Richard Kilmer for narrating it so professionally,as always.

Nope. Just... can't do.... it... I'm a simple person. I hear Richard Kilmer, I roll my eyes, and find another story. Bye bye.
Not to be confused with "Plan Nine from Outer Space"
Sadly in 2021 we no longer have a Ninth Planet. Even so, nothing exciting actually happened
I still count it. Who cares what a bunch of boneheads with nothing better to do decide to do on a whim
How about we send this story to NdeGT?
Think the reinstated it ?

Story starts @ 4:52.
Love old this Sifi.
Up what Yoda!!!
What a dreadful reader: or is it a machine? It sounds as if the reader does not understand the meaning of the words he is mouthing.
It sounds like someone used to reading lists, rather than prose fiction. Impossible to listen to. The pauses are every few words, no matter what.
Nice one
burls descendent gets eaten by a giant spider in the distant future on....the forgotten planet! (narrated by the same voice)
