"An anti union story by Heinlein"
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?Not this story, the only sci fi in it was the fact the US banned cars and installed people movers. Mostly it was a story of union busting by portraying the union members as fanatics who would destroy what they couldn't control.
What do you think your next listen will be?Swan Song by Robert McCammon.
Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrator?This was not a narration but theatrical production for a 1950's radio play. I would definitely listen to another story from this show.
Could you see X Minus One being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?I would hope this one would never be made into a movie. Disappointing. I could see Mel Gibson play the Union buster, the head of the Engineers Union played by Christopher Walken, the visitor from another nation could be played by Keanu Reeves. The Union buster's wife could be played by anyone. Small part. Bad storyline, boring movie.
Any additional comments?"Nothing to see here, move along."

"Classic Heinlein"
This short story predicted urban sprawl, and our dependence on the technology that makes it possible. This radio production is very faithful to the original source material, and very well done.

"As Advertized!!!"
It seems Audible has fixed the problem and all is well again. The X Minus One series is great and a steal at the price. Thanks, Audible!!
