Gloriously horrific survival story. This is the sort of thing that comes to mind when i think of classic pulp SF from that time.
Murray Leinster was one of my favorite Sci-Fi writers since 1959. This is his usual excellent story telling.
I have listened to many of these SiFi stories but this is one of the best.. the author has an understanding evolutionary biology and his perspective is frightening. He died in 1975.. Thx for this one
They can list animal and their basic functions yet I find the idea of a habitable planet without life completely ridiculous. Water is everywhere and so is life. Life makes a planet habitable. He makes no mention of fungus.
It’s cool if you are ignorant or don’t think about it.
@@carlsonbench1827 Water IS everywhere. We find it everywhere we look. Life isn't anywhere we look except here.
Did you listen to another story and accidentally post here?
Instantly like this mans voice
On the similarity of dogs and men (1:26:15): "They were estimating...insects never estimated". I join my fellow commentators on every praise about author, book as well as reader
Thank you!!
Very Good, nice story great narrator
Mighty fine tale
One of the best stories I've heard in a while.
That was great
Among sci-fi stories of the time period and in comparison with other works by 'Leinster' I would rate this most highly. I would recommend it as well. I have listened through more than once and plan to do so again. The impressive depth of science fiction concepts and themes as well as the great contemplative patience of the story is thought provoking.
Thank you. The narrator makes this classic science fiction story come alive. I could imagine this story inspired "Formicula", that 1950s scifi movie where a giant spider mutated by atomic tests, brings terror upon a desert town.

Has iridescent bug armor ever been on the runways? I'd love to see that, what a beautiful nightmare.
As this story unfolded, I immediately thought~ could this be Earth and it's earliest inhabitants Atlantians?
I've always seen our planet as one that has been "seeded" or "colonized" by some outside force. Whether our planet be impregnated by a comet from a distant galaxy or from actual other intellectuals intervening on our behalf~our ancient ancestors looking to revive and keep the human species thriving). These gifts of intellect and speech could only have been introduced to us at some point of time in our past, in my humble opinion.
I absolutely loved this thought~provoking tale...excellent narration and beautifully crafted sentences. Cheers to the author and it's narrator!
Tremendously enjoyed this story. Completely captivating, and in a way very different from your usual sci-fi tale. Surprisingly much to ponder.
fantastic
11/10 contains doggos. - everyone
All they had to do was to go a bit higher!
Like, not a single one wondered and climbed a bit?
Sounds an awful lot like the forgotten planet, I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning of the story.
Forgotten planet was actually a “fix-up” if this story and two older stories by the author
Early in the story: Oh God the Spiders Oh God!
Later on in the story: pet the pretty puppies!
good story, good reading voice.
This Book is simply beautiful.
I could listen to this narrator all day. Does anyone know his name?
Enjoyed this 🤘🇦🇺🌌
Excellent
Written by a PhD in real knowledge? Wish more stories were. Cognitively very nourishing. I am not convinced that humans belong on that planet though. Does not answer why life on the similar planet whence the ships came, developed billions of years faster.
Anyone know who the narrator is? Great listen.
No...
"But Burl does."
Yes
For my success
My uncle passed a way a year ago and I have around 100 of these type sci fi magazines that I do not know what to do with. Any suggestions? Thank you...
Why don't you advertise them on eBay as they are obviously for
The more serious sc fi readers ?
Il have em ;)
Read them.
I want them too!!
Give em to your Ant.
Murray lienster is one of the pen names of William Fitzgerald Jenkins 😜
reminds me of quest for fire the movie
Is there a second book
This was the second, the first story being "The Mad Planet."

If there was no life, where did the oxygen in the breathable atmosphere come from in all these planets?
Oxygen doesn’t require life to exist, it is an element and therefore created during the fusion reactions of stars, then spread in to the cosmos via supernovae. Water exists on asteroids, comets, planets, moons etc, that have no accompanying life and oxygen is a component of that molecule, a molecule that can be split via electricity.
@@biggest23 Oxygen doesn't require life to exist, but free molecular oxygen usually does.
Oxygen formed in stars usually bonds with carbon forming CO2.
Earth's early atmosphere held nearly zero free oxygen. It wasn't until early life started inhaling the CO2 and exhaling molecular oxygen that there was enough free O2 for higher animals to evolve.
This is one reason that scientist looking for extraterrestrial life often look for free O2 in the atmospheres of exo planets.
