A fugitive escapes the prison Hades. The interstellar run is followed.
The story is told in a unhurried fashion in a conversational style. There is plenty of drama. I enjoyed listening to this tale.
The narrators voice is clear and easy to listen to.
The recording quality is excellent (no background noises)and it has plenty of volume. The editing is is professional and seamless.

It's Time to Feed It To Fido!
Not a bad story but it Irritated me the First Time I read it because we are not told just What Fido Is until the Last line of the story.
Hint: It's the Hound From Hell. "No one escapes from Hades!"
Thus, as you're reading the story, you have to deal with a series of Five Incongruous Set Pieces, all the Time Knowing that you are just Passing Your Reading Time Waiting for the Last Line of the story.
I Hate That Kind of Story.
If the Author had just given the Reader the Smallest Hint as to the Nature of what the phrase "Feed It To Fido" alluded to, this could have been a really Creepy, Unsettling story.
Think about a Cycle of Dreaming you are Awakening From a Dream. On and on and on.
That's basically what this story is about. It's a Red Queen's Chase.
The Reader would have Understood why the Escapee From Hades was so Terrified about the Passing of Time. And We would have become Invested in His Terror.
Instead we just Read and Wait. And Get Irritated.
So I Rate this just an Average Story. And a bit of a Disappointment.

Part of LibriVox Short Science Fiction Collection 013. A fugitive escapes from the prison planet Hades, but even appropriating the fastest ships in the Galaxy he is persecuted by a biophysicists mysterious device incongruously described only as “Fido”. He desperately tries to escape his feelings of impending doom by taking greater and greater risks, spurning any opportunity that might even slightly delay his headlong flight from planet to distant planet on the edge of the Galaxy. Will his paranoia prove unfounded ? Excellent. Read by Gregg Margarite 39:52
