Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales are rightly ranked among the seminal works of mystery and detective fiction. Included in this collection are all four full-length Holmes novels and more than forty short masterpieces - from the inaugural adventure A Study in Scarlet to timeless favorites like “The Speckled Band” and more. At the center of each stands the iconic figure of Holmes - brilliant, eccentric, and capable of amazing feats of deductive reasoning.

Worst reader EVER !!!!!!!!!
Revisado: 11-16-14
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Somebody, anybody, else reading it.
How could the performance have been better?
Use somebody else. I've been collecting audio books since the days of vinyl records and reel-to-reel tape and I've NEVER encountered a reader so unable to pronounce even the most commonplace words, consistantly throughout the book! One wonders if english is this man's native language. His voice does not vary in any way no matter the circumstances and his pitch is so high it makes one laugh as the "voice" of the male characters.
What character would you cut from Beyond Thirty?
None
Any additional comments?
I sincerely hope some other reader will in time be assigned to another version of this book, I have been looking for it for years and this dreadful version is almost beyond listenability.

Retief, the somewhat reluctant diplomat, does not always follow what his superiors define as "proper procedure". His suave and sardonic approach to intergalactic maneuvering and his attempts to smooth over the bumblings of his other diplomats is documented in this funny story. Keith Laumer adds another delightful episode in Retief's career here.

Love the Retief series, bad choice of reader
Revisado: 10-28-14
Would you listen to The Yillian Way again? Why?
Yes, I really like Laumers Retief series
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Bad choice for narrator. Voice COMPLETELY wrong for ANY Retief story.
Any additional comments?
I really hope to hear many more adaptations. I really, really hope to hear it in another voice.

Would you consider the audio edition of 'Sam, This Is You' and 'The Other Now' to be better than the print version?
No
What was one of the most memorable moments of 'Sam, This Is You' and 'The Other Now'?
The most memorable moment was being able to listen to them. What.... I should give away the highlight of the stories??
Have you listened to any of Mac Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Who's Mac Kelly?
Any additional comments?
I don't think I'll be doing any more reviews. I don't like this question and answer method, and the questions are poor choices. Why not let me simply write what I think?
