PUBLISHER’S SUMMARY: Meet Chuck Lambert, who, though not exactly a fool, is guilty of letting his imagination get the best of his wits. That's because our young, naive Lambert wants his own planet. But rather than purchase one legally from the Interior Department of the Outer Galactic Control, he soon succumbs to the flashy advertising of an unsavory galactic swindler named Madman Murphy—the purported King of Planetary Realtors.
What Madman is the king of, is selling the unwary a planet that isn't quite right, a planet where one can't sit down because there's something the matter with its matter. And that's exactly what becomes the matter for our unlucky voyager, after Chuck toils for eleven grueling years to scrape together enough money to finally buy a planet of his own.
ALSO INCLUDES THE SCIENCE FICTION STORIES "THE CONROY DIARY," "THE PLANET MAKERS" AND "THE OBSOLETE WEAPON”

MY TAKE ON IT: A Matter of Matter is another audiobook in a series of golden age L Ron Hubbard works produced by Galaxy Press. The four short stories included in this volume showcase the imagination and sense of humor of one of America’s great story tellers.
Galaxy Press is doing a great job with these full cast productions, enhancing them with music and sound effects which really bring Hubbard’s stories to vivid life.
My favorite story in this collection is The Planet Makers, which presents an interesting tale of some professional terra-formers as they transform a raw planet into a habitable world.
NARRATOR: All four of the stories contained in this audiobook volume are full cast productions, featuring a main narrator, and several voice actors to perform the lines of each character. I like this style of production, but I’m a little disappointed that the names of the voice actors are not given anywhere in the recording. Probably they are listed on the packaging, but for myself and other blind listeners, that doesn’t help. What I can tell you is that the narrator and actors all do a good job, presenting L Ron Hubbard’s stories with a nice dramatic edge.
