Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Gary Dikeos' narration is the heart of this audiobook. His gruff, no-nonsense voice captures the spirit of Campbell's rough-and-tumble characters perfectly. The story is a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that never lets up, with Dikeos' performance driving the narrative forward with relentless energy. However, some of Campbell's original dialogue can feel a bit stilted, which might jar listeners used to modern storytelling. Despite this minor quibble, 'The Black Star Passes' is a must-listen for fans of old-school science fiction adventure.
