This story is 1 of my all time favorites ,I listen for 2 hrs every evening before bed and this story I've been listening to twice a week for over a month now.
I love these vintage sci-fi radio programs. I've listened to hundreds of them. This one's probably my all time favorite. Wonderful story, well written and very well acted and produced.
interesting how people felt at the time of the bombings. they thought the war with Japan would go on for at least a year being won slowly island by island. But, it didn’t!! by the time i was born in September, it was over!! that feels very weird. the Bomb ended the war. i can’t believe i would have had my babyhood during WWII !! that feels like a pall over my babyhood until i was 5. and i’m feeling it more cause of the cloud over our lives now. (July, 2024 - a cloud of “Brave New World”.)
Maybe the reason he was sent back was to save that womans life...maybe she was pregnant with an important child! Bc that was the one thing that was changed.
6:24 of this 25-minute video gone and I still don't know what the story is about - sounds like the guy's son got badly wounded in a battlefield or maybe he was having a very strange past-life dream or something but I am not sure.
Hi Rob, yes, Henry Kuttner audiobooks can be found in the 'Science Fiction Short Stories', and 'Science Fiction Novellas' playlists on this channel. Unfortunately we have no Van Vogt available yet, but will look to include some of his works soon.
Great story, but they've changed the ending. It ends with his son planning his political career. Another Piper story makes reference to the father's run for president and his brilliant campaign manager, his son.
It now seems at about 10:00 of the video that the story has nothing to do with the son who was having a bad dream at the beginning of this drama because now a crazy guy borrows a gun from the other guy ostensibly to shoot his mad or dying dog but in fact to murder his wife! The story seems to be impromptu and the plot keeps changing! What next?
Sounds like a modern version of General Othello planning to murder Desdemona (was that his wife's name?) suspected of infidelity a la faithful Sita ...
All the comments below praising this dull story are false and artificial. Why not be honest and thus help the fledgling author grow instead of giving false and insincere praise and not letting the author develop the necessary skills? False praise is the worst enemy of any author or singer etc.
seems to be a novice in the genre of science fiction or any thriller fiction - the story doesn't grab the listener's attention right from the very start as it should have - it wastes words - it is too rambling - too much waste motion
The Fantastic Universe cover is one of my favorite Virgil Finlay color paintings.
Thank you Great story. I enjoy all of Piper's stories, but this is the best.
the single greatest radio story Ive ever heard...brilliant and the performances are spot on
One of the best time based sci-fi’s I’ve ever heard.
This story is 1 of my all time favorites ,I listen for 2 hrs every evening before bed and this story I've been listening to twice a week for over a month now.
The single greatest old radio play ever!
Wonderfully acted. Great radio drama.
I like a story that is neatly told and doesn't strain the reader or listener or watcher too much to understand what on earth the story is about.
Thankyou for the upload
Thx for posting
very enjoyable and thought provoking

Great story .... Enjoyed it 👍
This is a great story....or rather, another great story. "Star Bright" is also one of my favorites.....
Brilliant. This story is timelessly realistic. =0)
I recognize Bob Hastings' voice as Alan. One of the greatest voice actors of all time.

Great Sci Fi!! It's hard to find really good stuff.
I wish there was more!!! And if anyone no any other audio dramas please point me in the right direction please and thank you.

Radio Dave also. I just discovered his channel. Chip Slater's channel also.
Wow, heavy episode! !
What an amazing story!
Excellent
Gregory Benford used this theme in a 2018 novel
Classic.

Not everyone can keep up.
Well whatever you say, second sight. Brian Koller
Now it sounds like a story of rebirth or reincarnation . What next?

WF, PF, NL, Kr. Nazi bosses - all very scared now - thought they were very smart - I am infinitely smarter. - G
You claim to be infinitely smarter, yet you couldn't grasp this easy to follow story, LMAO
Mere tough army talk doesn't make a story interesting. Nyet!
