Unearth the timeless science fiction stories that define the sci-fi genre.

Containing some of the most famous and influential science fiction works of the 19th and 20th centuries, this brilliant collection unveils four incredible sci-fi books that have defined and shaped the genre for generations.

  • The War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells’ world-famous alien invasion novel that sparked generations of films, radio shows and stories
  • And The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, which explores the duality of good and evil through an ingenious and strange tale of a man who becomes a monster

Four great stories which need no introduction. I enjoyed them all. The narration was generally good, although it suffered from a couple of frequent issues:

1) I get the impression it's an American narrator employing a British style accent, and as a British listening I did not it come apart in some places. In particular, the narrator seemed to struggle with the pronounciation of certain UK town names and London districts, which is understandable because British place names can be super dumb and unintuitive, but still pulled me out of the story.

2) There are some significant editing clangers. Quite a few times I heard the narrator repeat the same line twice, a few times he did a strange "trill" sound as though working the tension out of his lips, and at one point (12 hours 6 minutes 16 seconds) there is a big ol' unpleasant nasal snort.

I'd recommend this collection of stories, but I would recommend looking around to see if the same collection is available from another narrator. If it isn't, this one will do.

A great collection with some problematic editing
