Andrew Gibson does a great job.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I love sci-fi and had been interested in exploring this collection of 12 stories. While they don't exhibit much diversity (women and and POC do tend to take a back seat-as was typical of the 50s) this was an enjoyable listen. Andrew Gibson performed the stories he has selected himself which could have been better revised as there were repeated phrases and a lot of crutch words. You can tell the author has a real passion for the science fiction stories of this time period. Given the cost of audiobook production, you can tell it was a labour of love.

I enjoyed it.
