I have never heard any kind of old science fiction before. This is incredible! I loved it from the moment one. I'm going to check out more, thanks to this!
Brian Page
A most excellent narrative which adds to the books mystic and descriptive structure. The voices off Larry and and the norsman were perfect!
Fantastic Story and Reading
Unknown
This story took a while to take off. There is some really strange jumbo jumbo at the beginning of the story that was a bit of a slog to get past. But once the character of Larry O'Keefe shows up the story really starts firing on all cylinders and becomes more of a roller coaster ride. This is another exceptional reading by Mark Nelson. His vocal characterization of O'Keefe is perfect (without being painfully overdone like many other readers). I typically give up on readers who use voice characterization because most sound like high school play actors but Mark is a professional actor and it really shows in his readings.
Good Story

Starts off a bit strange but shortly you grow to love the characters. The narrator did an excellent job!

Too much description causing a person to lose sight of the meaning of the sentence. Reader was excellent!
Very Well Read

I really enjoyed this one. obviously Mark Nelsons reading plays its part in that. He could read the phone directory in an impressive manner. The story itself is a good long tale without dragging. It has a good plot, it has some areas of excessive description to my tastes, and there's some social attitudes which are correct to the period it was written but maybe not so much to today. But thats part of the fascinating experience of discovering these old tales, and this one does not disappoint. I'm not sure if I'd call it science fiction or supernatural fantasy but it does a great job either way.
