“Three science-fiction short stories delivered by a full cast, along with sound effects and a musical score, make this an enjoyable listen for fans of audio drama. The prime story focuses on the future, in which a man refuses to follow a new guru who proselytizes his belief that thought is what creates and maintains reality. The protagonist must escape, even if that means going into the past. With a deep voice and strong emphasis, R. F. Daley provides the main narration for each story while other voice talents deliver the characters’ lines. Those narrators provide voices that are a bit caricatured but that still fit each story.” — AudioFile

" Quick, fast read. The editing in this one was much better but still an issue. The characters of Kit and Kelly were pretty likeable as were the supporting characters. A tad unrealistic but hey, it is fiction! "
