More please!

Thoughtful, well performed and escapist in a way that few audio experiences can be. With a bit of wit, and a nod and wink to great scientific thought, this story allows the listener to contemplate extemely complex advanced science while enjoying a murder mystery with an old fashioned feel - it will give anyone goosebumps. I hope there are more audio stories out there that are like this. I was really absorbed on my return trip after dropping my mother in law off at home. I hope I can find more like this as it is about a 40 minute drive.

I love to read but the production values of this reminded me of when I used to listen to radio mystery theatre as a kid. It was better off performed than read.


Enough said (written), I am a fan of this story.

More like 50s Analog magazine stories

About the concept of entanglement but that word is not used for some reason. Pretty squeamish detective.

Love Levinson's work

I love all of the stuff I've heard from Paul Levinson that's available on Audible. All of them are great stories and entertaining narration
