The Head of Professor Dowell

By: Alexander Belyaev

Narrated by: Janice Jacqueline Haines

Marie Lauran is a young medical school graduate desperately looking for a job. Just as her savings are about to run out, she lands an assistant position with the famous surgeon Professor Kern. The terms of her contract are somewhat strange, but the pay is spectacular, and Marie is the sole breadwinner in her household.

When she takes the job and steps through the door of Professor Kern's laboratory, Marie enters a nightmare world she realizes she cannot escape. Instead of a promising medical career, she ends up in the middle of a fight for her life and sanity, where she can trust no one and where everything she believed in is put into question.

excellent with a great narrator

Fantastic book. Very much in the vein of Frankenstein, the Time Machine, Lovecraft, the invisible man, etc, early sci-fi. Not in terms of the story so much as the general feel of it. I really enjoyed this book and wish more of his work was translated. Great reader too.

Great story, ok reading, terrible editing

I enjoyed the book, despite its delivery. The reader was decent. Could be better, could be worse. But the uneven, rough editing was awful, and distracting. (It even repeated a short section near the end.) The only thing that saves this at all is that the story is interesting.

Traveling heads

The concept is interesting. The book was well performed. I listened to the end and enjoyed it.
