From AudioFile

The scriptwriters made a mistake in changing fundamentals of the classic Conan Doyle dinosaur story. In making an elderly male professor into a young woman, they made the tape sound like a Grade B movie. In removing a few characters, they made it impossible for the listener to understand how the explorers' on-the-spot notes reached Great Britain. There are additional continuity and character problems. But the sound effects and music are well chosen, and the actors fill out their roles with believable ease, particularly Leonard Nimoy as an irascible newspaper editor. This was recorded before a live audience and then embellished for audio. D.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

I highly recommend Alien Voices "The Lost World"! I already have several Alien Voices recordings and I've enjoyed listening to every one of them. I am a big Star Trek fan and it's fun to listen to Trek actors doing something completely different from what they did on their respective shows. Also, the sound effects are highly believable and the actors bring Challenger and the other characters to life as the story unfolds. If you like Sci-Fi, but don't have time to read, I would recommend any of the Alien Voices stories on CD audio or cassette, because they make for great listening anytime!

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to Classics, August 2, 1998

This review is from: Lost World (Alien Voices) (Audio Cassette)

Most of Science Fiction to-day has gotten out of hand, galaxtic battles and evil aliens rule most of to-days sci-fi books and movies, giving most of to-day sci-fi goers a "bad start". Lucky for us, Alien Voices has produced this, THE LOST WORLD by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a supreme classic. True, the actors are Star Trek personas, but it is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that they are performaning.
