“The two voyagers were neither of the same race nor of the same species, yet they worked together without words, as if they had established some bond which gave them a rapport transcending the need for speech.”

When Raf Kurbi’s spaceship from Earth burst into unexplored skies of the far planet Astra, it was made welcome by the natives of a once-mighty metropolis. But Kurbi was unaware of three vital things: (1) that Astra already harbored an Earth colony - descended from refugees from the world of the previous century; (2) that these men and women were facing the greatest danger of their existence from a new outburst of the inhuman fiends who had once tyrannized Astra; and (3) that the natives who were buying Kurbi’s science know-how were those very fiends - and their intentions were implacably deadly for all humans, whether Earth born or star born!

Much of the planet’s hopes lie with young Dalgard Nordis and his companion, Sssuri, a telepathic native of this alien world. If they fail, their planet will be subjugated and enslaved by that inhuman race.

Here is a top-notch planetary adventure novel by science fiction grand master Andre Norton.

Hooray for William Coon

One of our fine narrators, William Coon, has garnered praise for a title he’s did for LibriVox.  It’s for the “The Outcasts of Poker Flat” by Brett Harte.  Read the review at the Free Listens blog.

William has been busy with recording some wonderful titles for Wonder Audio. He has read “The Last of the Deliverers” by Poul Anderson [see Digital Downloads page] as well as reading “Doom From Planet 4″ by Jack Williamson for The Time Traveler Show.

Coming out this Spring, Mr. Coon does a bang-up job on the Fritz Leiber novel, The Green Millennium as well as Jack Williamson’s “The Wolves of Darkness”.  And later this year, we’ll be releasing “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and other stories by Harry Bates.

New Releases - A is for Alien; Sam, This is You

Two new great releases now available. 

A is For Alien TNA is for Alien

In these three tales, you’ll experience stories from an alien perspective.

In “The Apotheosis of Ki“, by Miriam Allen DeFord, Ki, a primitive savage, encounters a spaceman. Can the two cultures communicate? Read by Sam Mowry.

In “Captain’s Mate“, by Evelyn E. Smith, we hear the tribulations of a crustacean-like alien who is captain of an all-human crew. The trouble begins as the ship drops out of hyperspace. They’re stranded a million miles from anywhere and the captain is acting strangely, even by her own standards.

What passes for a moral is turned upside down in “Monsters“, by Robert Sheckley. Different rules of morality create havoc when a spaceship full of humans lands.
