Synopsis

"Acid Bath" is at once a mixture of old and new. The story by Vaseleos Garson dates back to 1952 and is a sparkling treasure of a sci-fi adventure story popular as a book among teenagers of that period. Unlike the usual style of audio book, this release has a music and effects soundtrack backing the narration giving it a radio play feel rather than a straightforward reading. Someone has also been playing with some Dalek-voice electronics allowing the aliens to have strange mechanical voices. The whole effect gives a slightly 'boys own' ambience which is not unpleasant and is a nostalgic link to those years of sitting in front of the 'wireless'.

Jacket review

if you admire stories of the Patrol and of Lone Watchers at the edge of the solar system then this tale is for you. I was not quite sure what to expect from this audio book at first but I was very pleasantly surprised. This is classic old-school scifi in the tradition of the paperbacks and pulps. It is the sort of story one would expect of Andre Norton, Isaac Asimov, or A.E. van Vogt. I had almost despaired of finding anything in this heroic and promethean spirit nowadays. The production is excellent- the sound effects, voice characterizations, and background music fully support the story telling. -- Oakshaman (Algoma, WI United States)
