Publisher's summary

Renowned throughout the universe...

A star among the stars...

A timeless hero whose time is now...

Ole Doc Methuselah is his name, and saving the universe is his game.

He may be a touch absent-minded, a tad disorganized, with a slight tendency to lose all perspective in the presence of an attractive woman...but when it comes to saviors of the universe, you take what you can get.

And what you get with Ole Doc Methuselah - the most famous member of the most elite organization in the universe, the Soldiers of Light - is action, spectacle, mystery, and plenty of laughs along the way.

With his razor-sharp scalpel, hypodermic needles, and doctor’s bag of tricks, he journeys to the far corners of the cosmos, vowing to cut out the corruption, confront the cruelty, and contain the warped psychology that plagues mankind - and all other kind out there.

Yes, there is intelligent life in the universe after all. You’ll find it in Ole Doc Methuselah. So if you’re looking for an adventure to remember, this is just what the doctor ordered.

“Classic adventures by a classic writer.” (Roger Zelazny)

L. Ron Hubbard.

I want to admit that I read the book as a child before downloading it as an adult. I liked the book a lot; however, L. Ron Hubbard's style seems and is old fashioned and his characters are simple archetypes with the main character being perfect at everything.
Listen to this book of you want to hear a fun and silly story about a space man doctor who is several centuries old and his four armed servant (slave) who is dim, loyal and strong.
Also by L. Ron Hubbard is Final Blackout. Try it if you like this.

Old Doc Methuselah Stories Are the Best!

UMC - Universal Medical Corps should be founded!
Medicine should be out of the hands of government, populated by ethical doctors who advance it to benefit all people. Thank you, L. Ron Hubbard for these timeless tales! ZoeV

BRILLIANT!

Perhaps the best of Hubbard's fictional writing. Each story is a superb vignette, fantastic, but believable. Roddy McDowall sets the standard for voice acting. Superb characterisation. Thoroughly recommended. Very entertaining and a good listen.

Excellent very original

Great series of stories about intergalactic travel with the medical Soldier of Light. If your looking for a completely original book then go no further. It moves very fast and the narrator is fantastic. All in all a great read
