Now that some of my grandchildren are old enough to appreciate Science Fiction, you can bet your a** I will be gifting them copies of Harry Harrison's works! Thank you for the great memories ❣️
@@Blind_Prime hi, I am going to go with the😮 Stainless Steel Rat series from the 60's.....those stories are fantastic and tickled my imagination....wow, can you imagine a screen play based on any of his earlier novels?! Cheers 🍻
I wish my granddad would have gifted me Harry Harrison while he was alive, I wouldn't have been 40 years old before I found his books lol!! I'm currently voraciously reading all of his books trying to make up for lost time 😊.
It's amazing how I got to read this book twice (25 years ago) and both times in other languages, but hearing it in English brought back the same faces, memories and images. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ❤️
I gave up my dog-eared and dilapidated Deathworld Trilogy when I moved cross country for my first after-college job. So glad to find this video. Thank you! Blessings be!
If you ever go around Jacksonville, Fl. check out Chamblins Used Book store there...I'm no expert by a long shot but I'm a reader.....and due to the fact that readin's becoming sort of a luxury....I see only one solution....used books.....thanks!
I get Audio books and read online or on "Kindle." I can no longer see well enough to read books or newspapers. I need 14 to 16 point type. because I can street signs and traffic signals, I intend to buy motor cycle in 2017
I used to ride motorcycles when I was in my 20s ... now I'm in my 60s ... bought a motorcycle and ride every chance I get.... timeline getting shorter ...cant ride forever... but I can today!
P thank you for this video book what a great book so I thank you and look forward to more the same . What a really nice book you know it's got sci-fi in it and it's 1960 sci-fi so it's like you know old school yet it was a great story sincerely us, Bob the blind bedroom guitarist
this was great mate. Love this story and this author. you get the feeling while listening to this book that many of the horror elements of scifi in the contemporary can be traced back to some of these creative creatures. xenos from Alien are an example. some super evolving hyper predator that is out for human flesh. though there are not enough scifi horror stories about insects and this book has some horrific insects in it
this book is dope, millennial here, there is something about the pre-1969 space race literature, that in my opinion, get these scifi stories great imagination. I've been getting into these older sci fi stories, so much more interesting
I'm so glad that I discovered your channel. I was a Sci-Fi fan in my young day's and lived in my Sci-Fi world. Now I'm retired and can listen to all these amazing stories. Your'e channel is a gem!!👍👍😊😊 and inspired me to start my own Sci-Fi channel
Thanks so much for posting this book. I read it as a kid while living in the Soviet Union. Brought back memories. I just wish Harrison did not attack faith here. It's ironic that he wrote a story against hatred while hating God.
Avatar was a combination of Deathworld by Harry Harrison, Call me Joe by Poul Anderson and, in my opinion, with elements of another story called A Case of Conscience by James Blish. I still wonder why these stories weren't credited at least as inspiration as its only fair and it's not as though the film didn't make enough money to afford royalties if they were due. I see this a lot in film making culture, although it's not the only place it is found in abundance - but that's the culture of egotistical denial in Hollywood a lot of the time. Check out the other two stories if you can find them - you'll enjoy them!
yes to Call Me Joe. i read A Case of Conscience so long ago that i've forgotten it. can you refresh my memory? oh, i'll just google it. EVERYTHING by James Blish is great! for all of love ...
Call Me Joe is a great story. Thanks for mentioning. I think Avatar took more from that than Deathworld. Avatar is more of a combo of Call Me Joe and Dances with Wolves, in my opinion--gonna check out A Case of Conscience now.
Thanks for upload. Had this years ago (the deathworld omnibus) and lost it Also a humorous post apoc kinda story where a global war started due to a huge bird detected on a soviet radar system I occasionally try to remember the name of that book & try scouring the internet for it but never find it 🐒
yes I'd like to thank you also for all the audio video audiobooks you put up I love listening to them I'm severely legally blind and haven't been able to read anything for many many years decades at this point I used to be able to see and I used to read voraciously period so thank you again the more that these you post the same that you make my life LOL I guess you'll notice there's no punctuation and probably a lot of misspelled words but hopefully what I try to comment is understandable. Are you speech to text and it has its own take on the English language LOL sincerely yours, Bob the blind bedroom guitarist
Avatar's got nothing on Pyrrhus -- even the grass is lethal. Avatar is where Pyrrhans go to relax! Love this book and always wished for a movie, but I guess Avatar ruined that prospect :(
Deathworld Trilogy >>>>> Avatar, which is just another stereotypical Hollyweird "Business bad. Noble savages good." piece-of-shit movie. Great effects. Wonderful spectacle. Juvenile writing and themes, with about as much depth as a thimble.
You know what, I might animated it, kinda like motion comic. I just need to find good voice actors. Upload it like a series. Episodes instead of chapter.
This is all more nostalgia for me. I love the magazine covers you use; especially the ones with chicks. Where do you find them all? I love Harrison's ideas & originality. You can't help but like his protagonists. Thank you Newthink. Your site rocks! Ash
At 1:18:00, the rock scene, reminds me of when i was climbing Telendos years ago. I sat down on a rock, and a minute later dozens of black scorpions came out. I left that mountain fast.
Awesome book, I really enjoyed it. I do wish there was a better title for it. Deathworld sounds cheap/cheesy and does no justice for this clever and well written story.
Deathworld - 1961 - ok, a whole world with one woman but at least, this time, she is part of the world and has an important place in it. and i do love this book - fun and well written. . . reader is very good, too. . . thanks :} omg at 4:14 the women of the "grubbers' are mentioned - they didn't even serve as healers. imagine - i thought there weren't any LOL
Liquidazot Actually, the Zerg were based on the Tyranids from Warhammer 40K/Games Workshop. GW worked with Blizzard on a 40K/Space Marine based game. Blizz screwed off, dicked around and got their licensing revoked by GW. They were sued, Hard, after they released StarCraft, with content based on the work done with GW. As to where GW got the idea for 'Nids, I can't say.
Harrison really gets you into a story even if you think you won't be interested. Hey, love the accent. Check out "Philly Guy at Waterpark." Get outta the wudder!
yeah, as much as Games Workshop jealously guards their IP... lol. they ganked ALL of their ideas from other science fiction/space opera and welded it together then stamped a copyright on it. kinda ridiculous.
Tbh I can't think of any other sci Fi trilogies that could top the deathworld trilogy. The first alien trilogy and predator trilogy maybe, they are more equals than betters.
Yes. Just slapped a puerile "business is greedy and ruthless" theme, typical of ivory-tower elites, who prefer savages in loincloths, and would be happier if the rest of us were reduced to such a state.
I was entertained, but I'd call it B level. The solutions come too easy. If it really is a world with deadly things everywhere, it'd be impossible to breathe. I wish the aspects of the planet really were super deadly, as in: everyone has to wear a spacesuit or die (that's pretty much a normal thing on planets anyway, but not here). It'd be interesting and a really intense feeling. Jason even camps out and isn't bitten by a bug. It's like you're not thinking about all the options that are really available to these people because it wasn't written that way. Specifically evolved animals don't really camp out around a perimeter--I know they're drawn to the Pyrrans, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't drift away to look for food and find Jason camping (not to mention the killer mold and all that that would naturally grow anywhere). A far cry from "deathworld"--it's more like deathtown. I'd think they would have touched down on a place 100 miles away and lived in relative safety. Even if they hate the beasts outside, I don't think the Pyrrans were past living elsewhere. Really good sci fi is able to make you look at life in a new way. Not the best here, but also not bad entertainment.
Hi Jacob, your comment is fair enough but you are commenting from a perspective 50 years in the future... And you have read the book, so know the answers our hero found. Its like you are a writer yourself and you would have made it more complex and thrilling, but its written 50 years ago, before internet, cellphones and everything HD 8k and thrilling. How do you know what's normal on any planet? If you wrote a sequel you could change it imho, otherwise don't complain please Sir.
you sound like you haven't read too much science fiction. there's a saying " the science fiction of today will be science fact tomorrow "... keep reading.
You could argue that insects aren't a high-enough life form to respond to psychic influence. Just don't have the mental equipment. He could've written that into Deathworld, but not without distorting the story just to please a few pathological doubters.

@@gossamer8842 what?
if it was made like an 80's action movie.
The narrator deserves more voice over work and attention. He is the only voice i can hear when i think of jason or any deathworld book.
Great story thanks for posting.
Good story, very well read.
I was listening to this story a year ago and lost the link and couldn't remember the title. I've found it again! Thanks for posting!

I liked a lot to re-read it. Thanks!
Great adventure story and The Ethical Engineer is a good sequel.
I quite enjoyed this book!
thanks a lot,great story!
wow thanks for the up load, ended up staying up all night listening to this got hooked and wanted to se how it ended.
This was one of the first sci-fi books I read as a kid.
Me too. 2.0 gravity?
That is a very long but interesting story. It kept me on the edge my seat at times.

The name and the cover are cooler than the actual plot.
Avatar's got nothing on Pyrrhus -- even the grass is lethal. Avatar is where Pyrrhans go to relax! Love this book and always wished for a movie, but I guess Avatar ruined that prospect :(
Right on!
Why not? It's not a dead end. There's always ANIMATION, Especially, hand drawn animation. I don't get this kind of thinking.
So true. Now they stream everything
Deathworld Trilogy >>>>> Avatar, which is just another stereotypical Hollyweird "Business bad. Noble savages good." piece-of-shit movie. Great effects. Wonderful spectacle. Juvenile writing and themes, with about as much depth as a thimble.
Pandora isn’t meant to be a deathworld; it’s just incredibly harsh.
1:33:00 I always thought this was the best argument ever written. People who disagree are bat shit crazy. 1:33:20
Thanks for sharing this gem.
Good observation.
I've never been into audiobooks,preferring one in my hand, but this as a classic I've read before has been a fun introduction to them!
You know what, I might animated it, kinda like motion comic. I just need to find good voice actors. Upload it like a series. Episodes instead of chapter.

Can see where Games Workshop got the idea for Catachan. It´s even refered to as a "Death World".

Yes. Just slapped a puerile "business is greedy and ruthless" theme, typical of ivory-tower elites, who prefer savages in loincloths, and would be happier if the rest of us were reduced to such a state.
james Cameron...? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That Hollywood hack thief? No way
