About this audiobook
The letter is from a certain Hans Pfaal, a citizen of Rotterdam who went missing five years earlier under strange circumstances, and who was widely believed to have been the victim of a bizarre and grisly murder. But Hans Pfaal's story is even more astounding than anyone could possibly imagine.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5this is supposed to be the birth of modern science fiction and inspired Jules Verne all should read not only this story but the story behind it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is not a bad rating for the story itself, but for the narrator. Her tone was extremely obnoxious and I could not make it through to the end.
