The Answer
By Henry Beam Piper

For a moment, after the screen door snapped and wakened him, Lee Richardson sat breathless and motionless, his eyes still closed, trying desperately to cling to the dream and print it upon his conscious memory before it faded. Are you there, Lee? he heard Alexis Pitov's voice. Yes, I'm here. What time is it? he asked, and then added, I fell asleep. I was dreaming. It was all right; he was going to be able to remember. He could still see the slim woman with the graying blonde hair, playing with the little dachshund among the new-fallen leaves on the lawn. He was glad they'd both been in this dream together; these dream-glimpses were all he'd had for the last fifteen years, and they were too precious to lose. He opened his eyes.

The official blurb on this one doesn't give much away does it! The short stories here are "almost" a themed set. The first first four are all time travel stories that appear to come from the same universe involving the para−time travellers in various capacities, from police men to miners. Each is engaging and an absorbing listen although the stories are showing their age. For instance I find it hard to imagine a future where everyone smokes! That aside these are classic sci fi stories well written. The last story in the set IS a short story in itself but I've heard it before as part of a bigger story. I believe the author must have expanded this short story into a full length novel at some time. I've reviewed that novel (Cosmic Computer)and gave it 9 out of 9! The reading and production of this collection is outstanding, the reader Mark Nelson has done an outstanding job one again. read more of my reviews at http://FreeAudioReview.blogspot.com
