About this listen

Planet of Dread is a gripping classic of mid-century science fiction that plunges listeners into a brutal fight for survival on an alien world. Written in the early 1960s, this novel follows Moran, a man betrayed and abandoned aboard the spaceship Nadine, then cast onto a cloud-shrouded planet teeming with gigantic insect life and hostile, unfamiliar ecosystems. As Moran struggles to adapt, the story explores isolation, moral ambiguity, and humanity’s relentless drive to survive when stripped of all safety and certainty.

Tense, imaginative, and atmospheric, Planet of Dread delivers vintage sci-fi adventure with sharp psychological stakes, making it essential listening for fans of classic space survival stories and Golden Age science fiction.
