About this listen
More than a hundred years before, an alien named Ulysses had recruited Enoch as the keeper of Earth's only galactic transfer station. Now, as Enoch studies the progress of Earth and tends the tanks where the aliens appear, the charts he made indicate his world is doomed to destruction. His alien friends can only offer help that seems worse than the dreaded disaster. Then he discovers the horror that lies across the galaxy.
BONUS AUDIO: Way Station includes an exclusive introduction by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Mike Resnick.

People work; folk play. That is how it has been in this country for as long as Sam can remember. He is happy, and he understands that this is the way it should be. People are bigger than folk. They are stronger. They do not need food or water. They do not need the warmth of a fire. All they need are jobs to do and a blacksmith to fix them when they break. The people work so the folk can drink their moonshine, fish a little, and throw horseshoes. But once Sam starts to wonder why the world is like this, his life will never be the same.

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

Story
Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

People work; folk play. That is how it has been in this country for as long as Sam can remember. He is happy, and he understands that this is the way it should be. People are bigger than folk. They are stronger. They do not need food or water. They do not need the warmth of a fire. All they need are jobs to do and a blacksmith to fix them when they break. The people work so the folk can drink their moonshine, fish a little, and throw horseshoes. But once Sam starts to wonder why the world is like this, his life will never be the same.

Sci-Fi transport idea now mentioned by Michio Kaku
Revisiting this book that I read as a teenager was a pleasant way to spend time. As a teen I would have rated this a 5 star book, but in this rereading I now see where some spots could have been further developed, either in character description or maybe a more complex plot.
Strangely, in the same timeframe I was reading Waystation I was also listening to Michio Kaku's recent non-fiction book The Future of the Mind. While Michio Kaku spoke of brain research that has already been accomplished and that is currently under development, he also spoke of brain research that is desired. Which, because he wasn't exact in his wording, left me sometimes wondering which ideas he was talking about have already been done, and which were just ideas.
The idea in the Waystation, of space travel from point to point by sending sentient entities (aliens) and their baggage like a fax from one container to another (destroying the "original" after the "copy" has been sent) was similar to an idea in Michio Kaku's book The Future of the Mind. Although, this idea of sending the essence of a person's brain into a blank body (like in Avatar) may have been one of the goals mentioned in Kaku's book as opposed to what has already been accomplished.
Waystation is a classic Sci-Fi experience and there are enough innovative concepts and trinkets mentioned inside to tickle and expand the mind.

Classic Sci Fi
Would you try another book from Clifford D. Simak and/or Eric Michael Summerer?
Probably not. It was a good story but frankly a little vanillia and dry.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The waystation keeper was the key to avoiding an interglactic war but he rest of mankind was unaware that the waystation was anything special.
Do you think Way Station needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, I think that the story was simple enough and the ending tied up all the loose ends. I think to make a second book would detract from the originality of the story.

Any additional comments?
A terrific book by Mr. Simak. A classic I'd never read before, but one I'm very happy to have finally experienced. I think it holds up really well, 50+ years later. There is a wonderful sense of optimism in the novel that you don't often find in modern SF. Mr. Simak was a master.
The narration by Mr. Summerer was top notch, and made for a very easy, enjoyable listen.
