A beautiful piece of hard Sci-Fi written some time after ww2, and some time before they discovered that tobacco is a narcotic. It hasn't aged as well as some other stores, but still a very good story, well read too.
Yes... many of these books contain valuable messages for the future along with just being great entertainment but the times and cultures in which they were written must be considered. Somewhere, I have an old physics book that was published in the late 1930s which clearly states that the atom is the smallest particle and cannot be split. It astounds me that this was the generally accepted belief during the time when E.E. 'Doc' Smith was writing his Lensman Series. Much of that series is available on this channel starting with TriPlanetary, presented as it was published as a stand alone book. TriPlanetary is also available in its original form as it was published on my other channel @Thinkplankbrainbank which mostly focusses on short stories... ruclips.net/channel/UCpbtM1Ax7utmPt272JfQNbg
I have been having some trouble getting the timestamps and chapter markers to work properly and reliably. I hope you can find where you left off easily. I am told that RUclips is still working on that.
Classic sci-fi ranks with the lensman and skylark series by the same author. Asimov, Bradbury delrey Herbert from the late 40s to the 80s all wrote some great stuff.
Awesome! Much of the Lensman series is already available on this channel and Skylark is coming soon! Stay tuned, bring friends, and thanks for having a listen.
I can't say I was expecting much from this, lousy watch rate, almost no likes, however, this is a great story, it's a slow start but well worth listening to.
Thank you for your comments. This channel is relatively new and Audio Books are not as exciting as explosions or fails etc. so I rather expect it to be a slow start in a world of 15 second attention spans. It is my goal to create this more interactive library to help preserve these classic works in a more interactive format and your likes, comments, and subscriptions, help me to do that.

I'm less than half way through, but I'm going to finish it tomorrow for sure :)
