While the book is great, taking to consideration the context of the epoch and society in which it was written, the performance is somewhat aged and lackluster. Still, an excellent reading/hearing.

A classic example of science fiction.

classic tale of daring do...makes me wish I had been born in a different era. And the narration could not be better. The tone was almost Churchillian at times and so invocation of that age.

outstanding talent, perfectly narrated.
