Thanks, Toni. Truly a "Golden Oldie." The story first appeared in the 1920's in Weird tales Magazine. The label "Science Fiction" had not yet been coined! E.E.F.
You…are…one of the very few….great….story tellers…of…our time! One…of…a handful in our World…a great God given gift…that you share with us….we…that can only offer our ears……we thank you…so much! 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉
Great stuff. I have theories about the extraterrestrial origins of humans, canines and felines. It's very foolish and all in good fun. But, uh... Cats are definitely Martians. No joke. Edward E. French, you're channel remains my very favorite. I save listening time for when I know I won't be interrupted. The best time is when I wake up at 3-4am, everything is dark and silent and I'm in that half-dreamy state. In this way I'm fully immersed in the story. I love me drugs and have experienced myriad altered states and must say that listening while being half asleep in the dark, early morning is its own unique trip. So thank you for your exquisite voice AND exquisite taste in tales.
Interesting tale with a "twist' ending you probably saw coming a mile away, but what matter when the author spins it so splendidly. Thanks for listening, Justin. E.E.F.
Iapetus is still one strange moon.... It has a 12 miles high wall around its equator....! Go take a look..... It looks really artificial.... What a tale....! Where does science fiction ends and science fact begins?
i just love the music you choose. written before science fiction was coined ?! wow. was the silent film of rocketing to the moon where it hit the moon in the eye before that, too? how about Jukes Verne? must look this up. in case you’re interested: “The term science fiction was popularized, if not invented, in the 1920s by one of the genre's principal advocates, the American publisher Hugo Gernsback. The Hugo Awards, given annually since 1953 by the World Science Fiction Society, are named after him.”
At 25: 55 the 12 confederate world's should have blown that world to pieces clearly they were not on a accidental galactic journey, but one of conquest and destruction.
The voice that launched a thousand stories! Thanks Mr French! 👏👏👏
Wonderful story & mesmerizing narration.

"Those beauty loving beings of No.5...." don't fvck with our aesthetic! 🤣
This is great. More J. Schlossel, please!
Thanks, Ergin. I'm sure we will revisit Mr. Schlossel's work in the future.....E.E.F.
I love the artwork of the title picture. Very sinister!
Thank you, E.E.F..
You're SOOO welcome, Marty. Thanks for listening in! E.E.F.

Thanks, Nunnuv. This story is structured EXACTLY like the way a dream-state gains velocity. The images are certainly dream-like. Cheers. E.E.F.
I loved forward to your uploads. Thank you!
...and I look forward to uploading them! Cheers. E.E.F.
Always a pleasure to find one of your excellent presentations!
Thanks, @brucevaughn2886. E.E.F.
Clever story line. Thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful voice
I love your narration and story choices Mr French. From Ben in the UK...
I appreciate hearing that, Ben. No doubt Mr. Schlossel was inspired by your countryman, the great H. G. Wells. E.E.F.
Thanks, please keep coming!
I tell the stories every weekend. Cheers. E,E,F.
Great reading Edward, thanks! A most enjoyable story too.
Thanks, Art of the Brave. Cheers. E.E.F.
Great narration.
Interesting tale with a "twist' ending you probably saw coming a mile away, but what matter when the author spins it so splendidly. Thanks for listening, Justin. E.E.F.
Your voice is so amazing.
Dude that was sick.
Ah! Then I have achieved my goal! Cheers. E.E.F.
In the tradition of Olaf Stapledon! Very nice Mr French.
You remind me I must seek out a Stapledon story some time. Thanks, Ramey. E.E.F.
This had a real Doc Smith feel to it - looked up Schlossel and Smith, and lo, they were writing "Invaders" and "Skylark" at about the same time.
You must have been exhausted when you got done reading this! Spellbinding!
Rosie, It's a challenge to be "the life of the party"-but fun.....-I hope YOU were exhausted at the end (as should be). Thanks for listening ! E.E.F.
@@FrenchEdward06 Yes! I was. LOL
Iapetus is still one strange moon.... It has a 12 miles high wall around its equator....!
Go take a look..... It looks really artificial.... What a tale....!
Where does science fiction ends and science fact begins?
Nice one Edward Thanks 🥸👍
Ive been looking for this story for years. Came across it years ago but could never remember the name
Loved this one , a bit of sci fi does one good.😁
I think so too Queen Babylonia. E.E.F.
i just love the music you choose.

Ghost V by Robert Shockley is rather a dormant tale but with the right voice will entertain, scare and satisfy listeners of all ages... just an idea.
“barbarous planet” - poor beautiful mother earth - hope we don’t get that bad.
I can totally see why some have compared Schlossel to Stapleton.
At 25: 55 the 12 confederate world's should have blown that world to pieces clearly they were not on a accidental galactic journey, but one of conquest and destruction.

Your disembodied head freaks me out
