About this listen
Immortal aliens have observed Earth forcenturies, making full sensory movies of wars, natural disasters, and horrifichuman activities - all to relieve their endless boredom. When they finally becomejaded by ordinary, run-of-the-mill tragedies, they find ways to create theirown disasters, just to amuse themselves.
But interfering with human activities isforbidden, and the authorities have been known to check on these matters fromtime to time. However, by the time Investigator Kelexel arrives to investigate,the trouble has been going on for a long, long time - and things are reallygetting out of hand.

Fascinating sci fi story on manipulation and free will
The Heaven Makers by Frank Herbert, the author of Dune and it's related sequels tells a very interesting story of manipulation and free will.
The story is about the mysterious Chem, immortal alien beings who live on storyships and record the events of various other lesser aliens for their own amusement. One such Chem is Fraffen whose storyship is on Earth and has been recording and manipulating human behaviour big and small for generations
One day, the Chem leadership sends an agent Klelaxu to investigate Fraffen as interfering in lesser aliens against Chem rules. The rest of the story is about Klelaxu's investigation and the 2 humans who start figuring they are being manipulated by aliens.
I liked the Heaven Makers, it can be a bit boring to listen as there is no action or fast paced narrative like Dune but the Chem are fascinating sci fi alien creation and the story ends on a strong and mysterious note. The voice performance by Scott Brick is also good.
