Planet of Adventure

City of the Chasch, Servants of the Wankh, The Dirdir, The Pnume

By: Jack Vance

Narrated by: Elijah Alexander

Stranded on the distant planet Tschai, young Adam Reith is the sole survivor of a space mission who discovers the world is inhabited - not only by warring alien cultures but by human slaves as well, taken early in Earth's history. Reith must find a way off the planet to warn Earth of Tschai's deadly existence.

Against a backdrop of baroque cities and haunted wastelands, sumptuous palaces and riotous inns, Reith will encounter deadly wastrels and murderous aliens, dastardly villains and conniving scoundrels - and always the random beauty in need of rescue.

Cheesy title, Great story

Jack Vance delivers a great sci-fi epic. I was hesitant with a generic title like Planet of Adventure, but I loved listening to this four part series.

the best

I loved it so much. I've read this book many times and experiencing it this was wonderful. Great reader. Jack Vance is truly a master of science fiction.

Another wonderful work by Vance

Vance can take a simple premise and make a remarkable story out of it. Truly a master of his craft.
The Demon Princes saga is my favorite of his but this is a great sf series. A great value

Great Narration!

One of my favorite stories. This was narrated so well it transports you to the planet tschai (sp?).
I even got pulled iver for speeding because I wasn't paying attention the story was so well done.

Jack Vance, the best of the best.

Just one of the many masterpieces from one of the greatest authors of SciFy. More of Vance's books should be audiobooked.
