Librivox recording of Oomphel in the Sky, by H. Beam Piper.
Read by Mark Nelson
Natives of the distant planet of Kwannon believe that their world is about to end, and in preparing for the apocalypse, may be unnecessarily bringing about their own demise. The planetary government can’t overcome its own bureaucracy to help them, and the military is overwhelmed. Can a single newsman change the course of a whole people, and save their world? (Summary by Mark Nelson)

A good sci-fi tale, with a great moral tale on the perils of colonization.

This is a neat sci-fi/human interest story. How should humans help those of other species? Should they teach them the more enlightened ways of the humans, or let them keep their superstitious ways? What if those ways threaten the well-being of an entire planet?
Reader does a nice job (as usual). Enjoy!
