In novels such as Mars, Moonbase, and The Rock Rats, Ben Bova told stories about rivalries and wars, of outsized individuals, public crusades, and the private passions that drive us as we expand into the solar system and make use of its vast resources. Bova wrote short fiction about some of the same characters and events—Sam Gunn, Martin Humphries, Klaus Fuchs, Dan Randolph, and the Asteroid Wars—featured in those works, and those stories are collected in Tales of the Grand Tour, a landmark of modern science fiction. The stories in this collection are:

"Sam and the Flying Dutchman"
"Greenhouse Chill"
"The Man Who Hated Gravity"
"High Jump"

Excellent stories; good performances. However, be warned that the audiobook is only about half the full collection.

Interesting combination of short stories and excerpts from some of Bova's novels. Some of the stories are excerpted from novels, but they hold up on their own. Recycled from the Grand Tour books...."Nothing to see here, move along."

Okay Sci-Fi
