About this listen

In a galaxy on the edge of war, the line between survival and destruction is razor-thin. Humanity's fledgling spacefaring civilization faces its most terrifying enemy—an alien species with devastating technology and a thirst for domination. Against impossible odds, Earth must uncover a way to fight back or risk total annihilation.

When a young scientist stumbles upon a revolutionary breakthrough, it becomes clear that humanity's survival hinges on a single, unprecedented invention. But as tensions rise and alliances crumble, the question remains: will this ultimate weapon bring salvation or unleash a power too great to control?

Packed with heart-pounding action, mind-bending science, and moral dilemmas that cut to the core, John W. Campbell’s The Ultimate Weapon is a timeless classic of golden-age science fiction. In this tale of ingenuity, courage, and the cost of progress, Campbell challenges listeners to ponder the true meaning of power—and its consequences.

Will humanity rise to the challenge, or will the ultimate weapon prove to be its undoing? Included in this volume are two of Campbell’s classic short stories, The Last Evolution and Twilight.
