Spacehounds what a title, just had to stop and take a look.there are so many true si/fi Jim's in older books people overlook. I've tried putting modern stuff in the storyline, and WOW , Not bad for the time.thanks for sharing as always.HAVE A BETTER TOMORROW And a restful night. Sandman
It is good to listen to these with present understanding and then extrapolate into the future how a future person will look back on our understanding with the same corny feeling as I have now.
Swashbuckling, wonderfully rollicking nonsense. Better than I read it first time. Wonderful to be that wide eyed 11 year old once again, can you believe it was forty years ago?
This guy can reads good, really well, unlike the other dude that jerks into every clause, every sentence with a chicken cluck! Again, I like this guy especially on the Milk in story--that was first rate!
My dad used to say that when he thought he wasn't in the gang, seriously shame I'm 52 and like a good swash buckle. But thanks for making me remember how much of a pretentious dick he is! X
why does ALL of these SF stories of the 50' & 60's MUST have a romantic BS plot to them. and it is the WORST type of romantic BS.. All the women say "OH "fill in the blank name" I can't live without you" & "OH "fill in the blank name" I loved you since i first meet you". and they are all "VERY ATTRACTIVE" women.. I do not think any of these writers even meet a REAL woman
Doc wrote this story in 1930, initially as a shorter serial for a "pulp" magazine, Amazing Stories. Later, he extended it to a novel, which was reprinted a couple of dozen times in the 1950's, as were his later works. (This is one of his very early published stories). As to never "meeting a real woman" dig around and find pictures of Doctor Smith and his wife from that time. She was indeed a VERY attractive woman - I guess Doc had her in mind while he was writing. Robert A. Heinlein wrote a couple of essays on Dr. Smith, and gave the Eulogy at his funeral. This last is readily available and easy to find - I suggest you go and do some research about Doc Smith's actual life before you complain about someone whose stories were being written - and sold for publication - 70-90 years ago.
"We'll show these jaspers what kind of trees make shingles!"
I have no idea where that phrase comes from, but I love it.
Having the right voice and delivery for audio books is HARD! This is a really great job!

Ah, for the good old days when computers were human and crewmen called their co-workers "old onion"

Shades of HAL! THANK YOU DAVE!
Here's the straight dope ace. I'm X that Doc spent the 1940's a as hipster. How this novel escaped the title, "Lines of Force" is a mystery.

Spell check messes up!
I think the narrator is Mark Nelson
Mark Nelson is the best narrator.
I love Steve and Nadia!

Sign of the times no TV no relaxed sexual mores no cussing on radio and everybody smoked
"Must have" these were done in the past buddy your lack of understanding of history is disturbing.
Dagon Ming Doc Smith wrote this back in the 30s. His style is especially melodramatic and bombastic.
