On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Historia
With the 75th anniversary of Citizen Kane in May 2016, Harlan Lebo has written the full story of Orson Welles' masterpiece film. The book explores Welles' meteoric rise to stardom in New York and the real reason behind his arrival in Hollywood and unprecedented contract with RKO Studios for total creative control. It also delves into the dispute over who wrote the script; the mystery of the "lost" final script; and the plot by Hearst to destroy Welles' project through blackmail, media manipulation, and other tactics.

Historia
Horror stars, action heroes, matinee idols, leading ladies - Suspense offered them all a showcase that expanded and emphasized their distinctive talents. Peter Lorre and Edward G. Robinson were particular favorites and appear here in tortured, desperate roles and never failing to wring every bit of tension from the scripts in their hands. Popular comedians - like Bob Hope and Milton Berle - were also regularly featured. Cast hard against type, the audience was forced to view them in an entirely different light and were left gasping in their wake.

Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Caught up in the checkered past of her hero and mentor, Chief Justice Clayton Erlenborn, Beth must cunningly maneuver through a dangerous web of secrets, deception, and cold-blooded murder. Armed with only her moral compass and unflinching nerve, she’s up against a sinister world full of undercover agents, domestic terrorists, and black ops assassins—all of whom want her to comply or die.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Written at the turn of the 19th century, before "science fiction" existed as a genre, H.G. Wells' creation was a new departure in literature. The author's deep devotion to social reform led him to use the idea of an extraterrestrial invasion to theorize about a possible violent upheaval in society - instead of "Martians" think "Bolsheviks."

With the 75th anniversary of Citizen Kane in May 2016, Harlan Lebo has written the full story of Orson Welles' masterpiece film. The book explores Welles' meteoric rise to stardom in New York and the real reason behind his arrival in Hollywood and unprecedented contract with RKO Studios for total creative control. It also delves into the dispute over who wrote the script; the mystery of the "lost" final script; and the plot by Hearst to destroy Welles' project through blackmail, media manipulation, and other tactics.

When H. G. Wells first published The War of The Worlds in 1898, the novel quickly became a sci-fi classic. The story of extraterrestrials from Mars invading Earth captured the public’s imagination, inspiring a famed 1938 radio broadcast with Orson Welles, several feature films, countless video games, and a best-selling musical concept album by Jeff Wayne in 1978, among others.

Hit or miss but the hits are BIG
Is there anything you would change about this book?
No, you either like an individual story or you didnt but, what I liked might not be what you like and vice a versa. The good thing was you get a vast collection for a great price so if you end up only liking half of them you still feel good about the purchase.
What about Orson Welles’s performance did you like?
Classic professionalism! The way he conducted pre and post interviews with his guests is truly a lost art. We just dont have broadcasters of his caliber any more.
Was Orson Welles: The Ultimate Collection worth the listening time?
Definitely, Interesting stories and it was a nice look back at the way things used to be broadcast. I think everyone will be interested in listening to the style of the commercials included with each episode.
Any additional comments?
This is a collection of the old time radio broadcasts whos subject matter varies greatly. I found the stories to be either really great and totally captivating or it just left me cold and I didnt finish it.

The Master Troll
Would you listen to Orson Welles: The Ultimate Collection again? Why?
Yes! I bought it alongside wireless speakers so I can have this particular audio playing in the background while I do anything in the house. It's the perfect collection. It makes me feel like I'm in the '50s but with a '30s sci-fi feel.
What did you like best about this story?
I like knowing that Welles played a prank on America with the broadcasting of War of the Worlds. THAT is a great performance. Just the SOUND of Orson Welles brings me back to a past that I've never gotten to experience and it's a privilege to still have so much of his works in audio format.
Have you listened to any of Orson Welles’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The War of the Worlds only. Equally great. This has 60 hours worth of audio so it's certainly exceeding in its glory.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Welles the Master Troll"

Intriguing
This is a collection of Orson's Radio Theater work. Most of the productions, I enjoyed, but there were many that I did not get into the story being portrayed. MOST, however, I did.
Orson Wells was a master at his craft, and did very well in whatever he produced.
I do encourage a listen to this collection.

There are some issues.
First of all, I paid four dollars for this. It’s definitely worth that. It’s fascinating to hear these old radio broadcasts, and they can be very entertaining.
That said…
This really could have used better curation. There are some repeated episodes, and everything is out of order. Nothing is chronologically placed. That’s very frustrating, because you can’t het a good sense of how the broadcasts evolved over time. Also, I feel like occasional interjection with historical notes or information about what was going on at the time would have been beneficial.
Finally, and this is no surprise, the sound quality can be atrocious at times. Of course we are talking about recordings from 80 years ago, so you have to expect that. At least one episode is only partially present.
Still, this is a bargain. And Campbell’s soup really got their money’s worth, as their ads are intact. They made me hungry, and o ended up grabbing some some tomato soup on my next trip to the store.

Orson Welles Collection makes great entertainment
This is a large collection of Orson Welles' 30's and 40's Radio Show- The Campbell's (soup) Radio Hour. He has a great variety of themes from well known movies, to plays and classic books. Each week he has a named co-star( Helen Hayes, Walter Huston) and some of his regular, then unknown actors are now famous. (Bea Benadaret, Agnes Morehead) The acting is excellent. I rated it down a star simply because I like some subject matter better than others. Just personal preference. Each story is about an hour. I walk and listen. I even enjoy the soup commercials. I notice they sell the individual shows but I would get the whole collection.

A wonderful performer with great talented artists
Orson Wells was a one of a kind actor and his voice was and is still magical and mighty. A giant in his field.We are all fortunate to be able to hear he's readings and to enjoy his old movies. People don't know what they are missing if they have never heard his voice. Thank you this collection is very important to me

It's a time capsule! I love it!
I just purchased this collection of stories, and I am so thrilled, I can't stand it. Listening to Orson Welle's radio programs is astonishing. I had forgotten what listening to radio was like. In the 1940s and early 50s, I used to listen to the radio all the time as a kid. We didn't have TV until 1953, and then it was mostly test patterns with about 4 hours of programming.
But listening to the radio--that was the THING! As I listened to it today, I am amazed at all the special effects that went into the program: the music, the sound effects, the crowd in the background, how wonderful is that? My imagination came to life again. So far I have listened to about ten of the episodes -- the first one, the Christmas Carol is a little gritty, so I moved on. I can go back an listen to it later, Algiers was a great listen, with Paulette Goddard in the lead role. What a young voice she had.
I listen on my iPod late at night after I get in bed. The stories are short enough that I can listen to an entire episode before falling asleep. The actors and actresses are great, too. I'll admit, it's a little hard to hear with the static and all, but that's not in all the programs. And if I remember right, listening over the radio in the 1940s was the same. Reception wasn't that good then, either. So, it's like going back in time for me. I'm delighted.
I have found a new genre now which I hope to mine and get more of the stories that I used to listen to as a kid. Do you remember "Let's Pretend"? It was a Saturday morning series of fairy tales. Ooh, I hope I can find it.
As for the story listings, I googled the book name and found a site that had all the episodes listed in order. So now, I can pick and choose, and I'll be able to go back and listen to my favorites again and again.
