À propos de cet audio

Every stand-in dreamed of the starring role - but what actor would risk his life for the chance?

One minute, down-and-out actor Lorenzo Smythe is, as usual, in a bar, drinking away his troubles while watching his career circle the drain. Then a space pilot buys him a drink, and the next thing Smythe knows, he’s shanghaied to Mars. Smythe suddenly finds himself agreeing to the most difficult role of his career: impersonating an important politician who has been kidnapped. Peace with the Martians is at stake, and failure to pull off the act could result in interplanetary war.

Smythe knows nothing of the issues concerning free interplanetary trade and equal rights for aliens and cares even less, but the handsome compensation is impossible to refuse. He soon realizes, however, that he faces a lifetime masquerade if the real politician never shows up.

I am a fan of every Heinlein work that I have read to date, though that list is by no means exhaustive, and this story is no exception. I find that the author makes very keen and penetrating insights into the human condition. The plot might be easily foreseen, but I do not especially read literature for what happens so much as how.

However I feel compelled to leave this review to put my full support behind the performance by the narrator. I found his depiction of the main character to be superlative and immensely enjoyable. Though I cannot judge the taste of others, and would not in any case (different strokes and all that) I would be remiss not to encourage you, dear fellow explorers of the mind, not to stop and take in this performance. I might be of the opinion that the doctor sounded a tad hokey, and many men struggle to adequately portray women, but I would consider other works based solely upon this actor's performance.
