About this listen

In "The Crystal Crypt", Earth and Mars are poised on the verge of war. On the last spaceship to leave Mars for Earth, law enforcement officials are looking for three fugitives who somehow made a great Martian city disappear. Unable to find the perpetrators, the officials allow the ship to disembark for Earth. A businessman named Thacher strikes up a conversation with a young woman and two men who reveal a very interesting secret to him about the mysterious case.

Re-Read Via Audible: I really enjoyed this narration by Chris Lutkin! Even though it's a rather average story the narration helped a lot.


A very average story, but with Philip K. Dick's rather elegant writing. Compared to Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? I enjoyed this a lot more and now I'm even more keen to read some more short stories from "Classic Science Fiction" authors!!

A classic story from a classic author!
