"Throat and tongue swollen with thirst, green eyes blazing now with new ecstasy, he knew he had it. He would gain it, would realize that heady height upon which he had elected to stand. Before him lay the Great Secret! The Secret which had made a dead race rule the Universe! And that Secret would be his, Fanner Marston's, and Fanner Marston would be the ruler, the new ruler, the arbiter of destiny for all the Universe"!This is one of four pulp fiction stories in the audiobook "The Great Secret" that Galaxy Press Publishing has recreated with exceptional voice talents. Narrated by television and movie actor Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5, Tron), also starring Lynsey Bartilson (cartoon character Tuesday X on Nickelodeon), R.F. Daley (Broadway musical Cats), Jim Meskimen (Apollo 13, The Grinch), Josh R. Thompson (comedian) and Chuck White.The Great Secret is a story about a boy who was raised as a slave who became a petty thief as a teen. At full adulthood he masters his own craft
and crew but is also cursed with utter madness and delusion as he pursues becoming master of the entire universe! This pulp fiction classic was originally published in 1943 and is regarded as timeless entertainment in the series of L. Ron Hubbard's pulp fiction stories. Bruce Boxleitner does a masterful job of bringing this strong story to life. I give it a thumbs up on the storyline and presentation. Some of these stories are hard to find so my hats off the Galaxy Press for bringing back these stories.Included in the audiobook are three more stories. Second in the line up is "Space Can", which is a tale about the space navy ship "Menace" that has action scenes not unlike the early 1900s cannon blasting sword wielding navy battles but in this case against an intelligent race from Saturn. It's science fiction with a plausible story line.Next is the story "The Beast". This Sci-Fi is about a beast from Venus that must be eliminated! Ginger Cranston, a great white hunter from ea
rth, must endure the hardships on his journey to killing the beast. Again the narration and action are first rate and have my thumbs up!The last story is "The Slaver" a tale about the hero, Kree Lorin, being captured by slave traders. He outwits his captors and frees the peasant girl from Palmerton, Dana, and also regains his ship.In all the audiobook is a two cd package and runs approximately two hours and twenty minutes of Science fiction adventure with realistic characters. Galaxy Press has done a fine job with the voice talents and cinema quality sound effects. It's fun listening entertainment reminiscent of the old radio days and worth visiting.
