Here are tales of star-faring adventure, peril, and drama. Here are journeys into the mind-bending landscapes of virtual worlds and alternate realities. Here you'll also find stories of humanity's astounding future on Earth, on Mars, and in the solar system beyond - stories that always get the science right. And Bova's gathering of deeply realized, totally human characters are the heroic, brave, tricky, sometimes dastardly engineers, astronauts, corporate magnates, politicians, and scientists who will make these futures possible.

More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

The urge to explore and discover is a natural and universal one, and the edge of the unknown is expanded with each passing year as scientific advancements inch us closer and closer to the outer reaches of our solar system and the galaxies beyond them. Generations of writers have explored these new frontiers and the endless possibilities they present in great detail. The Final Frontier delivers stories from across this literary spectrum, a reminder that the universe is far large and brimming with possibilities than we could ever imagine, as hard as we may try.

They mustn't harm a human being, they must obey human orders, and they must protect their own existence...but only so long as that doesn't violate rules one and two. With these Three Laws of Robotics, humanity embarked on a bold new era of evolution that would open up enormous possibilities, and unforeseen risks.

Consistently good series
Would you listen to Favorite Science Fiction Stories, Volume 9 again? Why?
Probably...some time in the future.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Favorite Science Fiction Stories, Volume 9?
Too many to list.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I've heard quite of few of these volumes. All good in my opinion. Especially liked they way they use different narrators for variety. Nice touch.
Any additional comments?
Surprised to see some did not like the narrators. Different strokes, I guess. The sample should help you decide for yourself.

maybe one of the best sets in this series
if you make it this far, congrats. there are some duds throughout, but this has some of the best stories.
my opinion says that
the concrete mixer, no charge for alterations, and Greylorn are the best three. but there's still farewell to the master, the inferiors (aka homo inferior), the Virgin of valkarion, the ambulance made two trips, and fondly Fahrenheit to work through as well.

Very poor production quality
The stories are hit and miss, enough good ones to make the book worthwhile, if you can stand the extremely poor production quality and the so-so to poor narration. What’s most frustrating is that you can hear static, feedback, and sometimes even the turning of a page in the reading. If they used old recordings, they should have at least re-engineered/ re-mastered them so the quality is up to par by today’s standards. As for the narrators, the first one is particularly bad, making it basically unlistenable. And if course there’s the chronic problem of not having any table of contents, which I’ve reported to audible numerous times as an issue that seems to be present in over 80% of their short story collections. I don’t know how audible gets away with selling such sub-par audio books, and especially how they can consider a collection complete when there’s no TOC.
