"All in all, the Galaxy project should open the eyes of genre fans, many who almost surely aren’t aware of Hubbard’s roots as a science fiction writer. Even a sampling of Galaxy’s catalog makes it clear that pulp-fiction devotees need to put Hubbard’s works on their must-read lists." —Booklist
"With a zany cast, Josh Thompson performs four radio dramas of outer space. "A Matter of Matter" features a new version of the American dream—owning a planet while striking it rich with ore that floats. Ah, hucksters can sell anything. In "The Conroy Diary of Fitz Mallory," a fictional character writes about Conroy's outer space adventures. Thompson performs flawlessly, despite the story's nonsense words. "The Planet Makers" create cities and remodel planets. Thompson credibly recounts feats of engineering and an intergalactic poker game.

Humor runs through this audio performance, enhanced by sound effects and much laughter. M.B.K." - Audio File 2011 Audies Finalist
