Narrator Mark Nelson is always appreciated.
It was the tail end of the golden age of sci fi that started my love of reading. By chance I found Sand Doom today and through it NewThinkable. It took me a while to get into the story but then I was swept along by the adventure and excitement. Thank you NewThinkable. This is going into my favorites list! UKUK
I second the Love on the artwork. And I loved the story.
Welcome Back!
Welcome and bravo!
Wow! I thought you were gone forever. I am elated.
And I was thinking about Murray Leinster as recently learned about a new collection of his stories that I want to get.
This channel is a gold mine! Thank you so much for all your work! 💚
Such a refreshing step back in time after today's hard sci-fi. Can't get enough of either.
Love the retro artwork 😍
Blue and orange are complementary colors, and orange seems to advance towards us, while blue recedes. Except for some very pale green, the whole painting is done in blue and orange, so the palette is both attractive and dramatic. The composition is also excellent, with two contrasting masses: the foregrounded mountains slanting down, and the background mountains slanting up. The large flat expanse of blue sky is also mirrored by the blue and grey rocket and ferry on the flat orange plain. Even the distant pale green vegetation is mirrored by a sphere in the same celadon hue. The seven main figures are rendered in deep blues with black shadows and a few off-white highlights,, creating the same dramatic chiaroscuro effect as on the spacecraft and rover vehicle. Textures are emphasized in the sand and rocks in the foreground, and in the rock striations poking through the distant sandy mountains. Overall this is a superior example of sci-fi art. Well done, mystery artist!
It was derivative of the space art of the fifties, a painting by Chesley Bonestell depicting a two-stage rocket concept for a Mars mission. It is from the Werner Von Braun and Willy Ley's Exploration of Mars_ book. I remember spending hours in my father's library reading it and it's companion by Willy Ley's companion book _The Conquest of Space_ .

I started listening because of the cover art, and stayed because the reader is (the excellent) Mark Nelson.
My favorite pass time❤️
Good morning😊
This story is captivating me. I love the problem solving angle. But the most striking thing is this cover art! Wow! How vivid!
I was so excited when I saw a new video! Welcome back and thank you!

Great story!
WELCOME BACK!
that was a fun story!
This started playing in my cachet immediately after the making of Tremors. Heeheeee
Nice coincidence - I had recently read this (in a collection of Leinster short stories). Nice version!
You credited the reader.. cool.
Frank Herbert must have read this before he wrote Dune.
Oh hey! It's been a minute
That narrator twists me melon big big time !
OMG it's the KillDozer guy!!
👏👏👏🤝
I keep listening to these stories at bedtime and fall asleep and don’t know what the f**k is going on. What’s this about? Sand? Warlocks?
It's been too long. This + a new Spark Master Tape album. Things are going well this week.
nice
This is a cool Sci fy tale seems like its from the 30's - 50's .
Is this thing on ?... tap tap tap.....shake off the dust and oil those gears !!
Question to the American audience: Is Murray Leinster considered a good sf author?
What is a cater wheeled vehicle?
Interesting , 1955 was a time of recovery from world war 2 . And astronomy was not so popular . But the rocket , that was a big invention of the Germans and we saw some of the possibilities .

So , to continue , the number of feathers in a war bonnet is fake . In holly wood films .
Funny almost/pretty much describes Mars. Tho Mars is seemingly more monochromatic.
Oh that’s interesting .
Each race has their own planet .
I wonder how that would work .
Wensday
The narrator mispronounces 'Leinster'--it should be LENSTER like the Irish province.
Wow , a bit of truth .
Counting cou . When a warrior in the Native American tradition skalps an enimy , he earns a cou . A cou , is an eagle feather .
See this no one tells you this . And Hollywood totally misrepresents this tradition .
not too bad for a white saviour story from the 1950s, this was a fun one!
This is boring to the tens. D I S L I K E.
Yes, you are. I agree.
Wonder if any of the woke listeners here realize that the _paleface_ here solved the problems that the _red man_ and the _African_ doctor could not solve?
Could it be that Murray Leinster - _the Jew_ - was a racist?
