(4 stars; 109 reviews)

This volume of the LibriVox Science-Fiction Collection is devoted to Alan E. Nourse (1928-1992). Nourse became a science fiction writer to help pay for his medical education, but eventually retired from practicing medicine to pursue his writing career. This reader-selected collection presents ten of his short stories which were published between 1954 and 1963. Extensive research by Project Gutenberg volunteers did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on these publications were renewed. Please consider this a brief sampling of Nourse's full range, and have fun buying and borrowing his other works.

good and bad

(3 stars)

The good ones are good and the bad ones are bad. There were a couple of stories which were just badly written or just not appealing to me, there were a couple of stories where the reading or recording quality made me skip them. These compilations with various readers are a mixed bag. Listen and enjoy, skip what you don’t like. Worth a listen

good stories

Most of the readers were very good; however, one was difficult to understand and made many mistakes in pronunciation, e.g., bowel for bowl, and mispronounced “live” in the context in which it was used in the story.
