About this audiobook
Altruistic space pirates, nuclear-powered djinn, a time-traveling kangeroo—and more …
Three complete novels of humorous adventure, one of them a Hugo Award finalist, plus a trio of witty short stories
with the distinctive Leinster touch.
• The Pirates of Zan—When a young man is accused and jailed unjustly, he is given a secret offer—in return for
help in escaping, he must shake up the galactic establishment, which is getting dangerously set in its ways. He succeeds
beyond anyone’s wildest expectations, seemingly becoming a space pirate, but being in reality, the deadliest do-gooder
in the galaxy.
• Gateway to Elsewhere—Suppose that somewhere the world of the Arabian Nights is real, including very powerful
and dangerous djinns, who are nothing like Aladdin’s big blue pal. A man from our world wouldn’t have a chance
against them … or would he?
• The Duplicators—A planet where everyone has a machine which can duplicate anything would be the wealthiest
world in the galaxy, right Wrong. And unless the hapless voyager who’s trapped on the planet can find a solution to its
problem, his voyaging will be over—permanently.
Plus three short stories, including “A Logic Named Joe,” an uncannily prophetic story of home computers and the
internet—written in 1946!
