I've been searching for this for years. I can only recall the following:

  • Early 80's (possibly late 70's).
  • Young adult short story book with hand drawn illustrations
  • Was a book on cassette, a follow along type
  • Science Fiction story that ends where the two main characters, a man and woman, are left on a new planet to populate
  • A third main character is killed fighting off an attack
  • The most interesting feature was the production quality - it was complete with sound effects, different voice actors, and this really haunting sci-fi score that I thought sounded very close to the Amityville Horror theme music.

  • Sounds like we are looking for the same thing. I recall the cassettes being a distinctive blue colour and white writing. I'm pretty sure there was more than one in the series. I believe I may have one of the tapes but the books are probably long gone...need to go hunting at the weekend.

  • This is it! I have been looking for this for ages now. Thanks a million, this is awesome. I could remember a few pieces of the story, but the musical score has been in my head for 30 years! It's just as cool as I remember. Thanks again!
