About this audiobook
It was the 34th century and all five of the Federation of Planets around Sol were buzzing with their usual activity when the Raiders appeared. They were indeed Raiders of Universes because they had ravaged many systems before reaching Earth and showed no signs of slowing down in the least. Their weapons were invincible, their greed merciless and their natures completely alien. Indeed 'they' were from another dimension entirely. Eating up entire solar systems and planets, they slowed down just a bit when intelligent life was found on Earth. Not much since they were in a hurry, but just long enough to tell the Earthlings to mine all the Radium ore on Earth and put it conveniently on the surface ...... in six days....or else. -

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun and clever little short listen.
I considered it a little bit factually compromising and basic in order to keep the storyline together. But the very definition of fiction does not call for scientific rigour, and it was also less absurd than a lot of alien sci-fi currently being pumped out.
I was further required to reframe this judgement when I learned at the end that it was copyrighted in 1932.
Science fiction is a wonderful example of the necessity for the continued support of the arts along side science. Creative thinkers from all disciplines contribute to development and discovery. Perhaps it is within this balance with creative pursuits that we permit our scientific minds to hypothesise further outside the box (maybe even to the 4th dimension ?).
Minds with less focus on conforming to established ideology, duplication of ideas or reinforcement of existing evidence based research.
