Summary

On a whim, a man takes a trip to the stars offered by a relative stranger...and within four days, he's murdered six people, fallen in love, and met God twice. Don't worry about the third ear growing on his forehead. Or that pesky third arm.

Written in 1920, David Lindsay's seminal work of science fiction is the first of its kind to introduce allegorical writing to the budding genre, examining in fanciful, colorful, and often hallucinogenic strokes the nature of good, evil, and life itself told through the lens of an epic journey across a treacherous alien world.

A classic in its time, both H.P. Lovecraft and JRR Tolkien mentioned it as an influence in their own famous works, and this is evident in the mystic powers, strange creatures, and memorable characters met along the way.

This audiobook is voiced by the classically trained actor Jason Keller, so sit back, relax, and let David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus take you beyond the stars.

Tedious narrative

I love all kinds of sci-fi, especially classic so was drawn to this due to its age. It has some interest as an historical document but the story itself is incredibly tedious. I plodded along for around four hours before deciding not to waste any more of my time. Only the second audio book I've not completed.
