Critiques
Loving it from Borneo
Lord Jim
I've been listening to only modern sci-fi these past couple of years, so it was a real treat to come home to a 1961 old school space opera. There's something about the structure and a lack of any cockiness and smugness and over-the-top narration with bells and whistles - it's so endearing. Sci-fi unplugged. Also...Mark Nelson is the consummate narrator...I have missed his warm delivery. The story is an interesting concept...would liked to have seen where our protagonist went next...
another great reading of a slightly odd story

I found this story quite interesting, coming as it does, after we have had investigations and even prosecutions for the behaviour of undercover police, having inappropriate relationships whilst in deep cover. It’s unclear to me if the author is presenting this as heroic or asking us to question these kind of acts when wrapped up as being patriotic. It’s a well read story and quite enjoyable. Make your own decision.
agree that it is slightly odd

5 stars for the reader but honestly this story disappointed me. there were things i thought they would address that were just left on the table. and a personal disappointment: not about archives , which as am archivist in training I wanted

Great read, a space yarn promoting the underdog in a story of intrigue, and distrust fueled by fear and ignorance which all manages to wrap up quite neatly in a dizzying finale. Recommended
Fascinating short story
Sherie Black
Liked this a lot, but it was too short. The theme could have had a few more chapters. I wasn't thrilled with ending. Mark thanks for your reading
Good.

Definitely some flaws but I really liked it. The main character was a mess and shallow but got fleshed out pretty well for a short story.

Typically great contribution from Mark Nelson. Both in story selection and narration. The story itself was enjoyable, if a little light, with a surprisingly poignant ending.
A LibriVox Listener
Overall the book was good but the ending was a little anti-climatic. As always Mark Nelson does a fantastic job narrating.
