Where does X Minus One rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a great radio show from the 50's using some of the best sci fi writers at the time. I would rank it in the top 5 of radio programs.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked the grizzly captain of the ship. He gives everything to warn the earth of the dangers.

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This is a radio play, so don't think of it as narration. The actors are great for their parts.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Knock, knock. Who's there?

Any additional comments?

Why is there a wall that space ships can't cross? What will happen when this ship makes an attempt? Is there anyone out there?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
