Back in the 1950s, at the dawn of science fiction, writers were turning out wildly imaginative stories for the pulp magazines. Robert Silverberg, writing as David Osborne, estimates he wrote over a million words in one year. Here, from those heady days, are three more exciting stories from the pioneers of science fiction: “Aliens from Space” by David Osborne, “The Man with Three Eyes” by E. L. Arch, and “Conquest of Earth” by Manly Bannister.

Self-contained, this app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. This app was built especially for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, meaning it fits your device perfectly. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

This was professionally recorded at the Blackstone Audio studios by Earphones® Award-winning narrator Tom Weiner.
