Publisher's summary
Escape to fantastical worlds.
As a master of the art of narrative and one of the leaders in the Golden Age of Science Fiction, L. Ron Hubbard’s Sci-Fi and Fantasy stories helped reshape the future of speculative fiction. The universe is yours as you explore fabulous worlds of unfolding mystery and unlimited potential. Discover the herald of possibility in these fantasy adventures.
This 5-audiobook fantasy collection includes 12 short stories for 10 hours of immersive entertainment. All audiobooks are unabridged, full-cast productions with cinematic quality sound effects that bring the stories and characters to vivid life.
Titles and short stories in this collection include: If I Were You (with: “The Last Drop”), Danger in the Dark (with: “The Room” and “He Didn’t Like Cats”), The Professor Was a Thief (with: “The Battle of Wizards” and “The Dangerous Dimension”), The Crossroads (with: “Borrowed Glory” and “The Devil’s Rescue”), and The Tramp.
You will love this collection because, as Publishers Weekly describes, “This fantastic production features a large supporting cast of readers, sound effects, and a variety of brilliant voices.” And Anne McCaffrey calls Mr. Hubbard, “A master storyteller.”
Book Descriptions:
If I Were You: Circus midget Little Tom Little learns from a book on black magic how to switch bodies. When he jumps into the body of the lion tamer, he finds himself caught in the center ring surrounded by dozens of savage cats and quickly realizes that his craving for height just may have led him to a gruesome death. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Nancy Cartwright, Corey Burton, Jennifer Darling, Lynsey Bartilson, Phil Proctor, Jim Meskimen, and John Mariano.
Danger in the Dark: Billy Newman has newly purchased a South Seas island only to discover it’s haunted by the giant shark-god Tadamona. Unfortunately the sharp-toothed entity wants more than ritual sacrifice; it’s bent on destroying the entire island unless Billy battles it out like David (without the slingshot) versus Goliath! Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Karen Black, Jim Meskimen, Noelle North, Christina Huntington, and Gino Montesinos.
The Professor Was a Thief: A down-on-his-luck reporter needing a big story—finds one when the Empire State Building, Grant’s Tomb, and Grand Central Station disappear. A professor is behind it all who, rather than inventing a means of blowing things up, is doing quite the opposite. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Tamara Meskimen, Bob Caso, John Mariano, and Tait Ruppert.
The Crossroads: Farmer Eben Smith heads off to the big city to trade his wagonload of produce. But he barters a lot more than goods after he stumbles across a crossroads in time, bargains with different cultures in alternate realities, and accidentally wreaks havoc and chaos in each. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Edoardo Ballerini, Jennifer Darling, Corey Burton, Jim Meskimen, Enn Reitel, Kristin Proctor, and Michael Yurchak.
The Tramp: Doughface Jack acquires phenomenal mental powers after a brain operation—now he can instantaneously heal, make the old young, or kill. Goaded by a vengeful and beautiful woman, Doughface is propelled headlong towards the ultimate seat of power! Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Bob Caso, Tamra Meskimen, and Tait Ruppert.

“Adventure,” L. Ron Hubbard said, “I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.” In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.
