Story4.5 out of 5 stars 764
As recently as 1990, it seemed plausible that the solar system was a unique phenomenon in our galaxy. Thanks to advances in technology and clever new uses of existing data, now we know that planetary systems and possibly even a new Earth can be found throughout galaxies near and far.

Fun across the universe

S.. sss. Can't do it, get headaches from listening

The constant sharp S sounds from every other word just makes this unbearable. I've come thus far with my equalizer but it will be a long time before I finish this. Probably a mastering error, which is just sad.

As one who has fallen in love with Japan, this was a fresh wind of clarity and no romanticising, but also nourishment for the fascination I have. What a wonderful person to listen to. Perfect for my upcoming third trip in as many years. While much is just confirming what you observe while experiencing Japan, some stuff promptly corrected misconceptions, partly based on misinformation. Will listen again.

On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovers an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms are taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loves, and the world as he knows it.

Bodysnatchers, a hidden menace.

Loved the voice of the narrator. Classic sci-fi thrill. Gives a taste for more, maybe Stephen King.
