The Core
If you listen in pieces — commute, chores, late night — The Core by Peter V. Brett keeps its place in this…
Audiobook Flow is carrying The Stars My Destination, read by Gerard Doyle. Written by Alfred Bester.
Marooned in outer space after an attack on his ship, Nomad, Gulliver Foyle lives to obsessively pursue the crew of a rescue vessel that had intended to leave him to die. When it comes to pop culture, Alfred Bester (1913-1987) is something of an unsung hero. He wrote radio scripts, screenplays, and comic books (in which capacity he created the original Green Lantern Oath). But Bester is best known for his science fiction novels, and The Stars My Destination may be his finest creation. With its sly potshotting at corporate skullduggery, The Stars My Destination seems utterly contemporary, and has maintained its status as an underground classic for over 50 years.
That is the whole offer: the full recording, a chapter index, and a player that does not ask you to sign up.
