Victor Appleton, IITom Swift and the Visitor From Planet X (April 27, 2007)

Would you like to try our new video/audio player ? (beta!)

LibriVox recording of Tom Swift and the Visitor from Planet X, by Victor Appleton, II. Read by Mark Nelson.

Tom Swift Jr. and his associates at Swift Enterprises wait breathlessly for what may well be the most important scientific event in history—the arrival of the visitor from Planet X—a visitor in the form of energy. But there are factions at work determined to snatch the energy, which Tom has named Exman, from the young scientist-inventor's grasp. First, a series of unexplainable, devastating earthquakes threaten to destroy a good portion of the earth, and Tom suspects the Brungarian rebels who obviously would like to capture Exman and use the space visitor to further their own evil purposes. With the security of Enterprises and Exman at stake, Tom creates two of his greatest inventions—a Quakelizor to counteract the simulated earth tremors, and a container or "body" to house the energy from outer space. If the earthquakes cannot be stopped, the entire world will be threatened by destruction, and the Brungarian forces will conquer the earth. How Tom utilizes all his scientific knowledge to produce swift-action results and outwit the Brungarians makes one of the most exciting Tom Swift adventures to date. (original book jacket from Gutenberg text)

Great read - real B grade sci fi presented with all the passion of a real fan. Mark delivered a great escape.

Subject: Pretty good
I must admit the sound effects were kind of annoying, but you could tell the reader put a lot of effort into the story. Nicely done. Story line is also good, if a bit old style. Worth a listen.

Subject: I Love Librivox AND The Tom Swifts
But am a tad annoyed with the sound effects.
May we desist?

If you don't feel like repeatedly shouting "terrific!" and "geeze!", you better skip this one. I begun skipping parts of the audio after the fifth chapter and I didn't miss them in the whole story.

Subject: Free Audio, Review
This is a classic Sci-Fi story, written in the hey-day of scifi where transistors were the new gee-whizz technology. It does therefore show its age a little.

However the story is a fun light adventure.

If your looking for a serious sci-fi story, this is not it. If your looking for a light adventure where the hero wins out just in the nick of time then this is the story for you.

This is another Mark Nelson, recording. Mark makes outstanding recordings and does a nice range of voices.

Reading = 3/3
Production = 3/3
Story = 2/3

Total = 8/9
