Summary

Mankind has conquered space and moved toward the starry heart of the galaxy. Earth is a planet of no importance, riddled with radioactivity by long-forgotten wars.

When assassins target his rooms and news arrives that, many light-years away, his father has been murdered, student Biron Farrill flees for his life.

Stunned, grief-stricken, and outraged, Biron is determined to uncover the reasons behind his father's death, and finds himself entangled in a web of deep-space rebellion, espionage, and political intrigue.

Asimov’s Galactic Empire novels are among the earliest stories by one of the twentieth century’s greatest visionaries. Filled with ideas and wonders, they are classic adventures from science fiction’s Golden Age.

A good place to start Asimov audiobooks

I’m waiting for the Robot series to be released next year before listening to the Foundation series. So I decided to listen to this first. Not the best story Asimov ever wrote, but the bar is very high there. Enjoyable non the less, and the Narrator does a good job and I’m looking forward to hearing a lot more from both him and Asimov in the near future.

Ok, but he’s written better

Ok, but he’s written better. I enjoyed it. Much shorter than his usual books. Worth it
