Summary: <p>The Star Rover - Jack London - Book 15, Part 1</p> <p>Title: The Star Rover</p> <p>Overview: The Star Rover is a novel by American writer Jack London published in 1915 (published in the United Kingdom as The Jacket). A framing story is told in the first person by Darrell Standing, a university professor serving life imprisonment in San Quentin State Prison for murder. Prison officials try to break his spirit by means of a torture device called "the jacket," a canvas jacket that can be tightly laced so as to compress the whole body, inducing angina. Standing discovers how to withstand the torture by entering a kind of trance state, in which he walks among the stars and experiences portions of past lives. It is science fiction and involves both mysticism and reincarnation.</p> <p>Published: 1915</p> <p>Series: Novels #18</p> <p>Author: Jack London</p> <p>Genre: Contemporary Literature & Fiction, Published 1900 Onward</p> <p>Episode: The Star Rover - Jack London - Book 15, Part 1</p> <p>Part: 1 of 2</p> <p>Length Part: 4:10:59</p> <p>Book: 15</p> <p>Length Book: 10:07:46</p> <p>Episodes: 1 - 14 of 28</p> <p>Narrator: Barry Eads</p> <p>Language: English</p> <p>Rated: Guidance Suggested</p> <p>Edition: Unabridged Audiobook</p> <p>Keywords: determination, persistence, man versus nature, battle, morality play, perception, discovery, travels, adventure, family, jacklondon</p> <p>Hashtags: #freeaudiobooks #audiobook #mustread #readingbooks #audiblebooks #favoritebooks #free #booklist #audible #freeaudiobook #determination #persistence #man #nature #battle #morality #perception #discovery #travels #adventure #family #JackLondon</p> <p>Credits: All LibriVox Recordings are in the Public Domain.
