Story
Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne’s masterpiece. “Wide-eyed mid-nineteenth-century humanistic optimism in a breezy, blissfully readable translation by Stump” (Kirkus Reviews), here is the enthralling tale of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive....

Story
For 12,000 years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future - to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire - both scientists and scholars - and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

Story
The Eternals, the ruling class of the Future, had the power of life and death not only over every human being but over the very centuries into which they were born. Past, Present, and Future could be created or destroyed at will. You had to be special to become an Eternal. Andrew Harlan was special. Until he committed the one unforgivable sin - falling in love. Eternals weren’t supposed to have feelings. But Andrew could not deny the sensations that were struggling within him. He knew he could not keep this secret forever. And so he began to plan his escape.

Farrill’s own father had been executed for trying to resist the Tyrann dictatorship and now someone was trying to kill Biron. But why?

Story
Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

First published by H. G. Wells in 1898, The War of the Worlds is the granddaddy of all alien invasion stories. The novel begins ominously, as the lone voice of a narrator intones, "No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's."

While imagining the wonders of space exploration and the rise of technological advancements, they questioned whether we were prepared to encounter aliens, or even control the machines and weapons we'd built ourselves.

Arguably the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, Isaac Asimov also possessed one of the most brilliant and original minds of our time. His accessible style and far-reaching interests in subjects ranging from science to humor to history earned him the nickname "the Great Explainer". I. Asimov is his personal story - vivid, open, and honest - as only Asimov himself could tell it.

Great, easy to navigate
When I considered buying this audiobook, I was concerned because a reviewer said it was impossible to navigate. However, in my Android audible app all I have to do is tap the title of this book, then "chapters" on the bottom and I can easily navigate thru different chapters as well as different titles.
That being said, this is a great collection, with audio in a voice that I find relaxing but not monotonous.
A full list of titles in this collection:
A journey to the center of the earth
20,000 leagues under the sea
Around the world in 80 days
The mysterious island
The master of the world
In the year 2889
The war of the worlds
The time machine
The invisible Man
The island of Dr. Moreau
Flatland
Frankenstein
The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Little fuzzy
The machine stops
Youth
2BRO2B
The variable man
The pendulum
The fight of the good ship Clarissa
Asleep in Armageddon
A princess of Mars
The Gods of Mars
Warlord of Mars

Worst recording I’ve ever heard on Audible
This is a hideous, amateurish, lazy recording of arguably the best classic sci-fi stories written. It cuts out parts of the stories and sloppily edits quick misplaced double cuts that mirrors and intense stutter. This is a true offense to the creators of these amazing stories, and to the fans and lovers of their writing. Worst credit purchase ever. To whom ever edited this book, you are not good at what you do, try harder, do better.

A Great Way to Discover These Classics
Hello,
I have come to appreciate works, I struggled to read. I am at the Jules Verne section. There are some repeats in the narrator's voice or other little flaws. But I feel the set is worth it because I have enjoyed these stories, particularly of Jules Verne. I have not gone through the whole series, Each narrator sounds different. It would be a personal preference as to the read quality of these book. Nothing is perfect. I have enjoyed being transported else where. I listen to these classics and read the optimism and hope for the future. Even when the stories are darker, they are still a great adventure to lose one's self in. The stories are interesting, they deal with the unknown, things that frighten and have the power to inspire. I wish people had more patience with this set. It is nice to be read to. And often easier to absorb and appreciate the story when reading is hard to focus on.

Should be at least 100 stars
Like most people I value money, and quality and this collection is one of the best purchases you can make. Every book I have read so far has been fantastic. Yes, there is alittle skipping, but it's like a half a second every hour out of 120 hours. Absolutely great purchase.
