Badge of Infamy By Lester del Rey The air of the city's cheapest flophouse was thick with the smells of harsh antiseptic and unwashed bodies. The early Christmas snowstorm had driven in every bum who could steal or beg the price of admission, and the long rows of cots were filled with fully clothed figures. Those who could afford the extra dime were huddled under thin, grimy blankets. The pariah who had been Dr. Daniel Feldman enjoyed no such luxury. He tossed fitfully on a bare cot, bringing his face into the dim light. It had been a handsome face, but now the black stubble of beard lay over gaunt features and sunken cheeks. He looked ten years older than his scant thirty-two, and there were the beginnings of a snarl at the corners of his mouth.

Reviewer: FNH - 5/10/2008 21:30Subject: Free Audio, Review This is a fun story. It starts on Earth with the main character spending the night in a doss house trying to sleep next to a dying man, and being unable to do anything about it despite being a doctor. He's held back by the laws of "medical lobby". Thus are we introduced to this far future with a gritty feel. Yes we have space ships, but not the clean loverly looking ships of Star Wars, but the tough dirty feeling you get when watching Blade Runner. The world is run by the lobbies and men are ground up in "the machine." It's a tough place to live and our hero see's no hope except to try and escape to the less strict world of Mars. There his skills might be of use. This was a great light story that filled an afternoon nicely. The well produced reading is easy on the ears. Classic SciFi well done. Reading = 3/3 Production = 2/3 Story = 2/3 Total = 7/9 See all of my reviews at http://freeaudioreview.blogspot.com |
