THE DEFENDERS AND OTHER STORIES

By Philip K. Dick, Read by William Coon
Length: 3 hours, 39 minutes [Unabridged]

In ‘The Gun,’ a planet lies dead, destroyed by a devastating war. Only a powerful weapon remains as protection, but what’s left to protect?

In ‘Beyond the Door,’ a man buys ‘a cuckoo clock for his wife—without knowing the price he would have to pay.’

In ‘The Crystal Crypt,’ three earthlings attempt to gain advantage over the entire population of Mars, in order to advance Earth’s commercial interests.

In ‘The Skull,’ an imprisoned hunter is offered redemption, if he will agree to embark on the most unusual hunt of several lifetimes.

Finally, in ‘The Defenders,’ a population of robots fights an Armageddon-like war, while humans live underground, feeding the war machine. But what does winning really mean?

These five stories allow us an early glimpse into the mind of the Hugo Award winning author.
