"By maintaining a vigorous, satisfying pace, Susan O'Malley holds the listener's attention
admirably. Her reading is intelligent and agreeable."AudioFile
"What the European male fails to understand is that the American Girl is innocent by definition, mythically
innocent; and that her purity depends upon nothing she says or does...."Leslie Fiedler
When Frederick, an American expatriate traveling in Europe, meets the commonplace, newly rich Miller
family from New York, he is charmed by the daughter, Daisy, and her "inscrutable combination of audacity
and innocence". The Millers have no perception of the complex code that underlies behavior in European
society, and Winterbourne is astonished at the girl's unworldliness and her mother's unconcern when Daisy
accompanies him to the Castle of Chillon. Some months later, he meets the family in Rome, where Daisy
has aroused suspicion among the American colony by being seen constantly with a third-rate Italian.
Ostracized by former friends who think her "intrigue" has gone too far, Daisy denies that she is engaged
to Giovanelli. Publicly, Winterbourne defends her as simply uncultivated, but privately, he hesitates.

Written at a time when the idea of travelling to the moon was considered ludicrous, The First Men in the Moon tells the remarkable story of daring scientists who attempt to reach Earth's satellite...and succeed. When they reach the moon, they encounter a lunar civilization unlike anything they could have imagined -- and face dangers beyond their greatest fears.
Featuring virtuoso performances from the entire cast, riveting sound effects, and original music, Alien Voices' production of The First Men in the Moon is an adventure in sound.
