content: If I hadn't read "Slan" many years ago and knew it to be one of the great works of science fiction, I would not have known that from listening to this audio edition. It was extremely disjointed, leaving huge gaps in the story (and filling many of those gaps with long stretches of silence or what I suppose passes for New Age music). I recognize that this wasn't simply a narration of the book but a "theatrical presentation," but "The Time Machine" and "War of the Worlds" were both infinitely better presentations than this. I simply cannot recommend this book at all. If you want to find out about Van Vogt's great work, I suggest you read the book and not waste time on this.
