Fanner Marston is on the verge of uncovering the key to gaining absolute control over the universe. The only problem is, he's certifiably insane. Driven by greed and lust for power, all he cares about is reaching the ancient city of Parva -- and finding The Great Secret of absolute power. But the writing's on the walls of Parva -- and you won't believe what it says. Blast off on a head-trip you'll never forget as the audio version of The Great Secret takes you inside the mind of a man who is crazy with lust for power.
This is a few short stories bundled together, each independent. The first story was my favorite, with a great last sentence (won't spoil it for you). A man seeks the "great secret" of a old, advanced civilization in an abandoned city that will bring him riches. Which of course, is not quite what he expects. Any one of these short stories would win a modern sci fi contest, no problem. Amazingly timeless. Recommended.
Unexpected ending

This story took me by surprise. From the moment I started to read it, I knew something was up and this propelled me through the story. You will not forget this sci-fi pulp classic.
