Black World

Masterful Saga of a Female Space Pirate

De: Raymond A. Palmer

Narrado por: Michael Reid

This SF pulp magazine classic of a female space pirate was a huge hit with readers when it was first serialized in Amazing Stories during the early 1940s. Golden Age pulp editor and author Raymond A. Palmer's masterwork mixes romance, interplanetary conflict, space piracy, and exotic alien worlds into the unique blend that is so emblematic of the science fiction of the period. Black World begins when John Carver of the Stellar Patrol falls for playgirl heiress Ina Malden on the luxury spaceliner Josephine, en route to the outer worlds.

After Ina disembarks at Titan, the ship is attacked and looted by a mystery ship, and John realizes the pirates' masked leader is Ina. John is ordered to capture her, but when he learns the motives behind her piracy, John falls more in love than ever. He also discovers another secret, one that would make Earth helpless before a superweapon that could not be stopped. To warn Earth, he knows he will have to betray his love for Ina; and to save someone else she loves, Ina knows she will have to betray her love for John.

Battling space fleets, interstellar espionage, futuristic glamour, the tough men and even tougher women of the planetary frontiers, Black Planet is a pulp age masterpiece now available as an audiobook!

Love and piracy

Two hearts on opposite sides of the law. A solider and a pirate, and I loved the romance that they would do anything to make the other happy, eventually. The pirate was only stealing back what a company swindled from their father, so I would call that an honorable pirate.

A human saga

character development was rapid and a bit disjointed for my taste but the story brought it all together quickly.

The narrator took me by surprise with how well they blended the tones for the various genders and accents so I'm if there is a follow up to this book the same narrator will be used

Great listen that will leave you wanting more.

Golden Age Space Opera

Space pirates - interplanetary war - disrupters -- everything you want from a space adventure from the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Oh, did I mention the romance triangle?

Entertaining and Unique

I found this book to be entertaining and unique. The story is fast-paced and very detailed oriented. I will admit that the story in some spots is a little long-winded, but yet it kept me listening. If you like fast-paced, descriptive, unique space ooeras with a multi angle romance, you will like this one.
I received this book for free upon my request. This is my honest review that I am leaving here voluntarily of my own free will.

takes me right back to the Golden age of radio

Love this short story. it was just like listening to some good old classic old-time radio from the '50s and '60s

Wildly exciting

This high quality vintage space tale is wildly exciting, the audio quality is very good and the narrator does a great job bringing all the characters to life.
