Summary:
Set in the early 22nd century: Dr. Daniel Feldman, stripped of rank and status and named pariah for violating Medical Lobby rules, stows away on a spaceship and flees to Mars Colony. There, while essentially practicing medicine without a license, he stumbles upon a plague organism indigenous to Mars, that threatens the whole colony and potentially the human race. Performing research to identify a cure, (also in gross violation of Medical Lobby rules) he must risk his life to buck the entrenched bureaucracy, bent on sweeping the whole matter under the rug in the name of political expediency. - Summary by Thomas Rose

Just amazing how some of these old stories seem to predict aspects of the future so well. I always did love reading sci-fi. It's incredible what you learn as you're entertained and it's a great education booster.

[@shadowforger2035]

Wow so the Doctors take over politics through fear of infectious disease. That could never happen 😂

[@DCShaneTours]

Okay so the doctors took over the politics in 2019 let's see what happened to me, my SNAP food stamp monthly allotment went up 700%, my DC Medicaid and Medicare got extra funding and it was easier for me to re-enroll. And then what bad thing pray tell did they do to you. Please show me on the doll where the political doctors hurt you. If wearing a flimsy surgical mask when you go buy your macaroni and cheese at the grocery store hurts you that much, I don't know what to say. I don't see any major freedoms and rights being stomped on. As far as corporate America goes, corporate America controls our medical industry, and corporate America runs our government, so the medical industry being political and running things is actually not anything new. Watch Micheal Moore's Sicko. Medicare For All Now!!!

Listening in 2021, it seems extraordinarily prescient.

[@ericdunbar6230]

This guy brought his Chrystal ball. Just a few minor details. Instead of old broken down spaceships we have an old broken down space station. Medical lobby is by far the most powerful but other than that spot on.

[@Firecracker66]

Woke up while this was playing and thought I was listening. To the news...

[@chipslatersstorytimetheate62]

I slept in lol.

[@patrickmullane30]

Tom Rose’s reading is phenomenal.

[@chipslatersstorytimetheate62]

I will agree!

[@ДимонмедведИзДурки]

I support 100%. Reader is 50% of success of audiobook.

[@elizdonovan5650]

Another excellent reading and story. Thank you. 🌲🌝☘️

[@steveh7866]

Thank you - glad I persevered - tried two narrated by prosac abusers, and one ladybird spot the dog reader - this one had just enough life :)

Lester Del Ray…a prophet among other prophets not just of science fiction, but of politics.

[@fistofthebrownstar]

The whole plague part of the story was interesting and fairly on point. Except for the part about America getting out unscathed 😑. Now if it said America was the one who got hit the worst due to incompetence which caused huge medical reforms then this book would be like looking in a mirror.

[@deadsi]

Listening and thinking this all sounds v familiar, then it gets to the bit about a global pandemic from China..

[@tyroniousyrownshoolacez2347]

Thomas Rose. Savage. Wow! Great narration.

[@billjonesjr8718]

Thank you.

[@karlgru3n654]

Wonder what year this was written. Very insightful. Ey? Thanks for the wonderful channel. ;)

[@chipslatersstorytimetheate62]

I believe it was written in 1963 for Galaxy magazine.

@@chipslatersstorytimetheate62 I was just a babe... Cut my psy teeth on Bob Heinlein. Plenty of that online. Again, Thank you for the info and channel.

[@horrormike]

It's incredible. del Rey's description of the U.S. future, pandemic, China, space...stunningly accurate albeit slightly different outcomes.

[@sebastianmelmoth9100]

I love this short novel.

[@Janet_scribbles]

Plague coming from China? Medical lobbies? When was this written?

[@mosart7025]

I think Chip said 1963. For real, right?!

[@grms19]

Just, Wow! Listen to this one!!!

[@niccoarcadia4179]

1963. Premise. In the future, powerful unions called lobbies control much of society. One of the most powerful lobbies is the medical lobby, which following a pandemic that spread across earth, has ..

[@niccoarcadia4179]

Just like today? Did the author's predictions turn out to be correct? Note within the story the pandemic that China spread. LOL. Anyway it's a great story with lots of insight into lobbies & how they work.

[@jayturner3397]

Ahh 'twas ever thus, methinks 😊

Hmmmm. Sounds like now. Be free. Awaken the naive.

I have a feeling this guy was pro slavery. At least we've got h.p. Lovecraft's open mind and progressive ideas.
