This is another great classic Sci Fi story which I first read many years ago. It is a brilliant idea well crafted into a fascinating tale which gradually reveals the truth of the nightmare situation in which the characters find themselves.

The effect though is entirely ruined by the narrator. He reads the text as though English were not his native language; the emphasis and rhythm is all wrong and hopeless for this book. I am about half way through, and still not sure whether my anticipation of the revelatory ending will be offset by the dreadful narration, and I return the book to Audible.

A great story spoiled...
