So, something else bought from Ebay arrived. A double CD containing eight science fictions stories, read by Colin Baker, Dennis Waterman, Peter Barkworth, Martin Jarvis, Anton Rogers, Rula Lenska, Martin Kemp<\/strong><\/em> and Jon Pertwee<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Eight Short Sci-Fi Stories; \u20188 complete stories of alien encounters on 2 CDs.<\/em>\u2019 Published and released by Prism Leisure Corp PLC in 2004.<\/p>\n

\"cd\"<\/a>
\nOf the eight stories five are by Bob Shaw; a pretty impressive amount.<\/p>\n

On CD One the first of Shaw\u2019s stories is Telemart Three<\/strong> read by Rula Lenska<\/strong><\/em> is from the short story collection Tomorrow Lies in Ambush<\/strong>, originally published in the March 1970 issue of Worlds of If<\/strong>. Dennis Waterman<\/strong><\/em> reads In The Hereafter Hilton<\/strong>, originally published in Omni<\/strong> magazine, September 1980 and collected in A Better Mantrap<\/strong>, the first Bob Shaw book I bought.<\/p>\n

CD Two kicks off with Light of Other Days<\/strong>, the Slow Glass story which is perhaps Shaw\u2019s most famous piece. The story was first published in 1966, in the August issue of Analog Science Fiction<\/strong>. It has been widely reprinted in many anthologies and of course is part of the novel Light of Other Days, Other Eyes<\/strong> from 1972. It is read here by Anton Rogers<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dream Fighter<\/strong> is read by Martin Kemp<\/strong><\/em> and the story saw first publication in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction<\/strong>, in February 1977. It was reprinted in A Better Mantrap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The last story on CD two is The Silent Partners<\/strong> (although the CD misses out \u2018the\u2019) and this comes from Nebula<\/strong> way back in 1959. It is also part of the Cosmic Kaleidoscope<\/strong> short story collection released in 1976. This story is read by Martin Jarvis<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The CD was released in 2004 but I\u2019m guessing it includes earlier recordings, seeing as Jon Pertwee<\/strong><\/em> reads the story A Glitch in Time by Paul Finch, and Pertwee died in 1996. The other stories fleshing out this anthology are Arrival, by John Charters, read by Colin Baker<\/strong><\/em>, plus Nightmare, also by John Charters and read by Peter Barkworth<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing I haven\u2019t listened to any of the stories.<\/p>\n
