Critic reviews

"The landmark series was Dimension X, which was broadcast by NBC....It was the first radio series to treat science fiction in an adult way." (Mike Ashley, Transformations: The History of the Science-Fiction Magazine 1950 to 1970)

Differences in the Available Versions

This story is an old favorite of mine; there are three versions of this story available on Audible.

The version narrated by Jim Roberts is the audio book of the actual story.

The other two versions, Dimension X (this one) and X Minus One are radio dramatizations of an adaptation by Ernest Kinoy and depart significantly from the original.

This version, Dimension X, broadcast in 1951 is okay, but I found the voice acting in X Minus One slightly better.

Excellent short story

I like all of the "Dimension X" series, but this is one of my all time favorites. My kids even enjoyed it and wanted more.
