Daughters of Doom

Daughters of Doom by Herbert B. Livingston hurls you into a tense, pulp-era space thriller where a single clerical error sends a lone pilot past Ventura B and into a world of eerie threats. Set against the backdrop of interplanetary ports and worn-out suns, Livingston’s short story blends classic science fiction adventure with moral suspense as Ben Sessions follows a trail of mishaps that began with a file clerk’s mistake at the Las Vegas Interplanetary Port. Rich in period detail and retro-futuristic imagination, the tale explores themes of human fallibility, isolation in deep space, and the unforeseen consequences of routine bureaucracy. The narrative moves from cramped maintenance bays and rocket tubes to a strange, dangerous world guarded by uncanny inhabitants—evocative imagery that keeps tension high without ever revealing the story’s twists. Ideal for listeners who love classic science fiction short stories, vintage pulp atmosphere, and tightly wound, thought-provoking plots. Daughters of Doom is a brisk, atmospheric listen for audiobook fans seeking speculative adventure, suspenseful pacing, and the uneasy charm of mid-century space tales.
