This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/qrm-interplanetary-by-george-o-smith/


Volunteers outside the USA: George O. Smith died in 1981. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
QRM-Interplanetary is one of eleven science fiction novelettes by George O. Smith published in Astounding Science Fiction magazine between 1942 and 1945. It was re-released in the anthology Venus Equilateral with nine other Smith stories in 1949. (Summary by sjmarky)

Target completion date: 2022-06-30

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

If you're taking DPL volunteers, I would be glad to join you.
Love classic SF. And, as ham radio operator, quite familiar with QRM and QRN.

If you have someone lined up, though, that's fine.

Thank you both for your support. I really appreciate it.

I don’t have a cover. Maybe someone will make a good one.

I guess I pre-claimed it prematurely. Sure, take me off and open it up.
