A Logic Named Joe

De: Murray Leinster

Narrado por: Daniel Henning

Altruistic space pirates, nuclear-powered djinn, a time-travelling kangaroo - and more....

Three complete novels of humorous adventure, one of them a Hugo Award finalist, plus a trio of witty short stories with the distinctive Leinster touch.

The Pirates of Zan - When a young man is accused and jailed unjustly, he is given a secret offer - in return for help in escaping, he must shake up the galactic establishment, which is getting dangerously set in its ways. He succeeds beyond anyone's wildest expectations, seemingly becoming a space pirate, but being in reality the deadliest do-gooder in the galaxy.

Gateway to Elsewhere - Suppose that somewhere the world of the Arabian Nights is real, including very powerful and dangerous djinns who are nothing like Aladdin's big blue pal. A man from our world wouldn't have a chance against them...or would he?

The Duplicators - A planet where everyone has a machine that can duplicate anything would be the wealthiest world in the galaxy, right? Wrong. And unless the hapless voyager who's trapped on the planet can find a solution to its problem, his voyaging will be over - permanently.

Plus three short stories, including "A Logic Named Joe", an uncannily prophetic story of home computers and the internet - written in 1946!

Pirates of Zan is a treasure

The entire collection is worth it for the one book alone. If you like clever satire and sci Fi, this author is one of the best.

Misleading Title

The title should be “A Logic Named Joe and Other Works” because only about less than 1% is actually that story.

The narration takes some getting used to, but just you wait and it will replace your inner monologue.
