My God! I have been looking for this book for 50 plus years! I remember when I was about 10 yrs old reading it in my homeroom and science class! So great to have connected again with it! Will look for the sequel also!
It is a wonderful book. You might like Earth Abides. It's very dated but I always liked it. I keep hoping to find an audio of Inherit the Stars, another good read.
@@andya857 idk if ur familiar with l. Ron Hubbard's mission earth series? But the cover art is interesting, compared to the stories. Not bad! I'd recommend the read, for sure.
@@psychologicalsigma9917 Sure did, almost got sucked into Scientology of which he founded,back in the early 90s .Decent story but Hubbard is an insane Cult leader..
Bloody incredible story. Following through the steps as the humans rose from completely desperate hopelessness to an overwhelming super force was the most satisfying thing I've read in a long time. Great narrator aswell 👍👍👍

Thank you. This one of my favs. I have the original paperback that I don't like to mess with anymore because of it's age. This was a treat to listen to. It sounds like it was done as a radio show because of the episodes.
This is one of my favorites on this channel. Just an excellent story and the narration is fantastic! Thanks so much you guys, your work is very much appreciated! 👍👍👍

I completely agree. With the advent of long-term story telling prevalent in modern movies, i feel like this could be a multi-chapter series. If not a full film, maybe a series on a streaming service like netflix or hbo-max.
Those terrans have no qualms about practicing genocide toward the Gerns and nepotism runs riot. I love the story and Mark Nelson is a first class reader.
Not gonna lie when I saw the title, I honestly thought that it was actually a space station of some kind, not actually a planet. Altogether a good story
Is there a part 2 so to say? I want more of this he's great the way the story keeps u guessing with more character surprises then all of game of thrones
The Survivors is a science fiction novel by American writer Tom Godwin. It was published in 1958 by Gnome Press in an edition of 5,000 copies, of which 1,084 were never bound. The novel was published in paperback by Pyramid Books in 1960 under the title Space Prison.
Truly great story! Good upload & narration - highly recommended. Thanks for uploading! (Could have a better title...it's more about survival under the worst conditions, overcoming & getting payback no matter how long it takes to succeed.
Glad you enjoyed! This is indeed one of the best Sci-fi stories. Some other great ones...

I Imagine a lot of the Rejects would stay and maintain training bases on Ragnoroc. . .(Spoiler Removed). . . the prowler Segan, I mean maaan, so yeah I liked it.
Dunbar expedition now I know what my great great great grandchildren will be doing. Why was this called Space Prison? It should have been called Planet Exile. There not prisoners and there not in space.
Why did they not move north with the animals?? That doesn't take a genius to understand. It's a survival technique. To avoid the heat. Annoying. But great story!!!
Enjoy and subscribe for more!
thank you!
@@popeye583 You are welcome!
That was fun. I fell asleep after the second summer in the cave and I woke up when the germs landed again.
This isn't like Starwars, I actually want the good guys to win
Thanks very much for the upload, great to listen to in bed with the lights out!!! Peace out
Hi. I’m the narrator. Hope you liked my audiobook.
well read thanks, enjoyed.
Excellent sir.
If you dont mind me asking but did you also happen to marrate "The Old Breed"? By Eugene Sledge?
The best.
Hi Mark. When there's a choice, I pick your narration over others. Thanks for all the great works.
My God! I have been looking for this book for 50 plus years! I remember when I was about 10 yrs old reading it in my homeroom and science class! So great to have connected again with it! Will look for the sequel also!
One of the best science fiction stories ever written! Enjoy!
@@chipslatersstorytimetheate62 I loved this book. Is there a sequel to Space Prison?
@@locutusdborg126 The sequel name is The Survivors
It is a wonderful book. You might like Earth Abides. It's very dated but I always liked it. I keep hoping to find an audio of Inherit the Stars, another good read.
Same here
I have listened to this to fall asleep for over 14 days in a row. I think I finally know the whole story. Thanks for reading!
Just what I do
This is day one wish me luck
@@hazel552 how did you go? ☺
3 days for me insomnia is great for books not so great for the rest of my life
Great story.
This is the best sci-fi that I have read, heard in years.
Thank you for this book!
This was much better than the cover photo suggests. I really enjoyed it. Good tale of survival.
Goes to show ya. Always judge a book by it's words 👍
Some of the best sci fi i have read nave somewhat misleading covers...

Secret society types. Big time gatekeeper.
This story and the narrator’s skill is beyond excellent,
I was captivated!
Thanks I really enjoyed it
The part where he finds the scar on the prowlers shoulder and understands is absolutely haunting. What an amazing story.
Awesome book!
Mark Nelson is a great reader. Thanks for this. I'm always worried about the Gerns.
Thank you! I originally read this book in the late 60’s and loved it then and haven’t found it since to re-read. So again, thank you.
Absolutely one of my favorite classic sci fi books. I sure wish there was a part 2.
Why not wish for a TV series? 'May as well wish big.
2 more books
I heard part 2 was called survivors.
Space barbarians only on paperback @@maninthecamohat2735
An awesome journey of life and challenge throughout generations. I really enjoyed listening to this while sewing. Thank you.
You are welcome!
That's what I do too. I can stitch for hours listening to these stories. Mark Nelson is a briliant narrator.
Loving this, thank you for the reading! (boomarking my place @ 19:42 )

This was so good to listen to as I paint. Thank you for your hard work and you have gotten a new subscriber, my painting isn't finished. 😁 👍
Loved it. Thanks for sharing. 👊
Your welcome!
Excellent! Great story and narration. Thank you.
Enjoyed!
What does everyone else do whilst listening to audio books?
that was a great story thank you writer.
Thank you.
The reading is very good.
Awesome story , very realistic mind movie..
This story should make a fantastic movie.
One of the best science fiction stories ever written!
I completely agree. With the advent of long-term story telling prevalent in modern movies, i feel like this could be a multi-chapter series. If not a full film, maybe a series on a streaming service like netflix or hbo-max.
I think there is enough material to make an awesome miniseries.
Thanks for the upload🖒 pretty harrowing stuff. Great story
Awesome story!
I always think about this story.
Fantastic story. I'm up to nine and I'm falling in love with it. 💯
Really good thank you for sharing🐱🐶📖👍
Excellent and epic story. The reading was ok,
Great story this is a great channel 👍
Number 2 is the space barbarians. Can't find it read aloud but it's out there :( only 3500 copies of this were ever released......I need #2 please
Those terrans have no qualms about practicing genocide toward the Gerns and nepotism runs riot. I love the story and Mark Nelson is a first class reader.
Hard world. You kill them or they kill you simple
This would make a great SciFi film..
I was thinking the exact same thing! A very compelling epic!
Maybe it could be made into a mini series!
Excellent stuff!
Ya know, the era of great filmmaking is long gone. What's left is a personality driven woke vehicle. I'll stick to books.
The title has a deeper meaning 🌍
This was such a wonderful listen! Thank you for posting! I have to wonder if Rimworld wasn't inspired in part by this story?
Great book
Just over half way. Enjoying it much. Simple but good. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Bravo 🙏🏽
Very good book.
One of the best classic science fiction stories ever.
a great audiobook 👍🇬🇧

2 more books I can't find audio of them
Please can someone do this classic as a Miniseries, surely possible now with CGI. Come on Netflix, Amazon , TH-cam!
So good 😁
Very enjoyable story.

Finished thx for the upload
Thank You .
You are welcome!
Great story
Great story of human survival
Part 2 Is 'the space barbarians' and I can't find it anywhere but on paperback :(
Anyone know where I can find book 2
Winter is coming.
On the battlements with his prowler saying ‘Winter is coming’. Now that is true influence for the starks
A pretty good read, I would give it a solid 7/10 and would recommend for younger readers. Lacks any sophistication or much depth but a fun read.
The one thing I hate about a good tale is it’s end.
This is a classic.
That was I think my favorite story ever
Does anyone know if they ever illustrated any part of this story? I've done image searches but turned up nothing.
Nope it’s not a light novel with pics in between
I Imagine a lot of the Rejects would stay and maintain training bases on Ragnoroc. . .(Spoiler Removed). . . the prowler Segan, I mean maaan, so yeah I liked it.
Any other recommendations? So far argp squirrel does awesome work but no books hit like this or 1984
Got the bastards. Took a day off work to hear this

Dunbar expedition now I know what my great great great grandchildren will be doing. Why was this called Space Prison? It should have been called Planet Exile. There not prisoners and there not in space.
Gerns, gorillians. The writer didn't bury that one deeply at all. Straight of the cover art of Alice Cooper's Muscle Of Love...circa 1973
What are you on about?
Enlighten me radiation boy.

Nice surprise.
Or, they could go into business selling talking pets and attack beast.
Why did they not move north with the animals?? That doesn't take a genius to understand. It's a survival technique. To avoid the heat.
Annoying. But great story!!!
2 sun's so it I think was sappost to be hot everywhere pretty much. The animals migrate a far distance more then the people could of traveled
Like the book but needs more character storyline
