Interstellar travel to alien worlds is too expensive for Marvin, a college student in need of a good vacation. And so he signs up for what he can afford: a mind swap, in which his consciousness is swapped into the body of an alien life-form. Unfortunately, Marvin finds himself in the body of an interstellar criminal—a body that he has to vacate, fast. But that criminal consciousness has stolen Marvin's earthly body. Now Marvin has to find a body on the black market just to stay alive! Travel with Marvin from world to world, each one crazier than the last, as he keeps finding far-from-ideal bodies in awful situations.

      There's nothing so joyous in science fiction as a Golden Age chestnut, and MINDSWAP delivers with gusto. Narrator Tom Weiner shares that gusto as he portrays alien dialects, futuristic slang, and interplanetary adventure. Weiner evokes the B-movie aesthetic so strongly that one expects to hear cheesy beeps, radar pings, and theremin music. Satire is the name of the game, and satire is always best served straight up. Recognizing this, Weiner modulates his tone to one of earnest sincerity. Winking sarcasm would destroy the tone, so even when a Martian speaks with the broadest Cockney accent in history, Weiner's delivery is perfectly apropos. Listening to this audiobook is just plain fun. A.Z.W. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
