Resumen del Editor

To save the universe Johnny Mayhem risked his life - over and over and over. He could travel anywhere mentally and enter the body of anyone on any planet. But if he stayed longer than 30 days, Mayhem died. An encounter with aliens had given him an extra-human power. But it had also put him beyond the pale of love and friendship forever.

For the first time ever in audiobook form, here are the never reprinted adventures of one of the most popular and notable pulp science fiction series heroes of the mid-1950s. Mayhem is literally "the man who saved the universe" - and the price he pays for it is a terrible one.

Classic Pulp Sci-Fi

My Name is Mayhem: * (78m)
They Sent a Boy: *** (56m)
The Burning Man: *** (53m)

Here we get the first three (3) short stories from the Johnny Mayhem pulp sci-fi sage originally published in Amazing Stories in the mid 1950s. As might be expected, the science has not aged well and the short story format doesn’t allow for much world building and/or character development … so the focus of the first story is basically our introduction to who is Johnny Mayhem … and after listening, I find it almost impossible to see how such an inept operative ever became a “legend.” Sure … there is the obvious mystery of a body hopping assassin (a la quantum leap) working to bring law and order to galactic chaos, all while fighting against a mysterious mind controlling alien (and yes … I see the oxymoronic plot here and yes, I understand this is pulp fiction, so it is supposed to be ridiculous). As a fan of old radio theatre broadcasts … there was so much nostalgia potential here that I jumped at the opportunity to preview the audible ...

I was disappointed. While the narration was decent/okay, it was not anywhere close to the quality of the old-timey radio shows; which quite frankly is the primary reason to listen to them. Missing that, the problems with the stories themselves were often difficult to overlook. After the first story … this was almost a DNF. Fortunately the new story was much better and more inline with what I was expecting when Mayhem jumps into the body of a young boy (complicating his assignment). The final short takes Mayhem into a prison on Mercury and was also fun and taken with the second, saved this book.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

He has more than one life for his universe

An excellent collection of short stories following a man that lives without single body, but inhabitants one when he is needed. I loved the prison story.
