Lovely voice, greatest Sci-Fi stories ever!

Roberts soothing SE-English accent makes it a special joy to listen to his favorite Sci-Fi stories - you can really tell how much he loves these stories himself 😀 So many stories I never got around to reading myself are now in my ears at any given moment. Thank you, Robert! Stine from Denmark
