While I was disappointed that Katherine Parkinson was only in the first (pilot) episode, the performances are uniformly great. I must have listened to the whole series at least 20 times. An alien-occupied village refuses to cooperate with aliens studying them - humorous and charming.

Casual profanity is NOT a hallmark of professional audio production. The actors deliver their lines like the studio is burning down around them. For fans of Irish dialect profanity. (I have personally produced radio plays.)

Not interested in any astronaut who "talks to his daughter" during crucial maintenace. Lost all believability in first chapter.

Painful voices and extended use of degraded audio

Cannot bear Althaar's voice. Extended automated(?) voice exchanges with deliberately degraded audio were physically painful to listen to. Maybe there is a good story but annoying audio effects obscured EVERYTHING.

A personal dystopian nightmare written shortly before Dick's own unfortunate end. Do not listen to this if you are prone to depressive moods. The abrupt change of narrator in Part 2 was very jarring. The second narrator even read the Chapter numbers with exaggerated intensity and loudnesss. The "bad guys" are fronted by a 19-year-old female agent, which would be highly unlikely in any serious organization. "Voices in the head" are once again interpreted as extraterrestrial assistance with hidden but presumably (God knows why) benign agenda.

The Divine Invasion Audiolibro Por Philip K. Dick arte de portada

Much better than VALIS: Book 1

It has character, story and a minimum of philosophical meandering compared to the original VALIS. The attempts at female voices were highly grating. Also, I could often not distinguish Emmanuel from Zina in their conversations. Sadly confusing in an already deliberately confusing fiction.

Philip K. Dick had his own mental problems and some drug problems as well. He projects these onto an alter ego Horselover Fat. We are treated to a hodgepodge of ancient conspiracy theories of a theological nature as Fat attempts to deal with his problems every way but confronting them. People come and go, offer their own drug-addled interpretations of random theosophical texts, or committ suicide and further muddy the waters. There is no science fiction here. His writing does have a certain mad poetry to it but no attempt is made at plot. There is no resolution, no ending to this story. I consider it the worst of Dick's books. I am a fan of many of his other more structured works.

The funniest performance was "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" (Chapter 8), which is not even listed in the Publisher's Summary. It combines "speed dating" and the over-the-top Gentleman Detective genres.

While there is more detail in this book version, "The Quanderhorn Collexion" (also available on Audible) is an Absolutely Production for BBC and is a dramatic performance with all the personalities and variety that only a dramatic production can bring.

I bought the single season offering when it first came out and was pleased to get this offer of all three seasons. Professor Nebulous oversees a team of post-Withering scientific investigators solving problems on Earth, in space and occasionally in deep Time. Professor Nebulous is haunted, not only by his clown-family past, but also by a single awful mistake that darkened his career. David Warner is a terrific villain as the diabolical Dr. Klench. This future world is peopled with great characters like The Sentient Candle of Luxemborg, the Infernons in their heat-insulating cloaks and the Lovelies with no clothes at all.

By turns goofy, satirical and surprising, Nebulous represents the best of sci-fi humor as only the UK seems capable of producing.

Truthfully, I have listened to the entire series ten times.
