A new release from my favorite Audiobook publisher Wonder Audio. Okay, you got me. I’m the publisher, so of course it’s my favorite. But did you know we don’t review Wonder Audio titles at SFFaudio.com. Conflict of interest and all that, since I’m an editor here. But you know if I did review one, it would really rock ;)
A Sheckley Trilogy: Three Classic Tales of Science Fiction
By Robert Sheckley; Read by Mark Douglas Nelson
2 hrs. – [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: Wonder Audio
Availiable at Audible and iTunes
Robert Sheckley, master of the science-fiction short-story form, created numerous tales of dark humor. He had an entertaining gift for looking at society with a warped mirror, enabling us to see ourselves in a clearer reflection.
“Keep Your Shape” is from the perspective of an alien race with the unseemly ability to change shape. In “The Seventh Victim“, murder is legal and sanctioned by society, and the gunman’s victim is a beautiful woman. And when a spaceship filled with diverse alien life forms is stranded without a star drive, they only have one chance of getting home again. That chance is with a “Specialist” from Earth.
These three works were originally published in Galaxy and The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy in 1953.
I keep trying to think of some way to get some reviews of Wonder Audio on SFFaudio.
All I can say is that some of the audiobooks you’ve released – I’m thinking of stuff like Fondly Fahrenheit by Alfred Bester – is ABSOLUTELY SFFaudio Essential quality.
