Summary
More than a hundred years before, an alien named Ulysses had recruited Enoch as the keeper of Earth's only galactic transfer station. Now, as Enoch studies the progress of Earth and tends the tanks where the aliens appear, the charts he made indicate his world is doomed to destruction. His alien friends can only offer help that seems worse than the dreaded disaster. Then he discovers the horror that lies across the galaxy.
BONUS AUDIO: Way Station includes an exclusive introduction by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Mike Resnick.

Rare in the genre
A lyricism and an elegiac quality rare if not unique in SF - Way Station is lifted beyond the genre by the writing. It is has beautiful natural description and poetic ambiguity, woven into fine straightforward storytelling, and both detailed and - ultimately - soaring ideas.
The audiobook is well read with a voice suited particularly to the main character.
Recommended.

Superb!
It was a wonderful reading of this classic from Simak. If you read or listen to any Simak on Audible, make it this one and City.

Enjoyable and engaging story
I have enjoyed all the Clifford D Simak stories I have read so far, and found this one to be particularly enjoyable. I liked the picture it painted of the life whole scenario and of the various alien and human characters involved.
