Stories from the Golden Age

review 1: This book is comprised of 4 short stories. The first story The great Secret isn't very good, but shows a great deal of Lovecraft influence. The 2nd story, Space Can was the most interesting story in the book. The third and fourth stories were slightly better than the first. Character Development was non-existent in the slaver, as it was non-existent in the great Secret. The character development in The Beast was good, but the peculiarities of venusian society made that one confusing to start out with.
review 2: With the loss of the greatest generation author Ray Bradbury, there is a new spotlight on Sci-Fi's Golden Age. This particular audio set surprisingly combines the best of the written and the visual, the great sound effects calling to mind The Twilight Z... moreone and The Outer Limits. The voicing is perfect also, with multicast performances, some discs featuring well-known Sci-Fi/Fantasy actors. Some younger readers who are used to the modern Space Opera with stellar effects and character development, may be surprised by this procedural, man vs. machine approach to storytelling, but it is representative of the Age. All-in-all, this is a very entertaining series and the beautiful packaging is a plus. less
