À propos de cet audio

The first book in the Galactic Empire series, the spectacular precursor to the classic Foundation series, by one of history’s most influential writers of science fiction, Isaac Asimov

His name was Biron Farrill and he was a student at the University of Earth. A native of one of the helpless Nebular Kingdoms, he saw his home world conquered and controlled by the planet Tyrann—a ruthless, barbaric Empire that was building a dynasty of cruelty and domination among the stars.

Farrill’s own father had been executed for trying to resist the Tyrann dictatorship and now someone was trying to kill Biron. But why?

His only hope for survival lay in fleeing Earth and joining the rebellion that was rumored to be forming somewhere in the Kingdoms. But once he cast his lot with the freedom fighters, he would find himself guarding against treachery on every side and facing the most difficult choice of all: to betray either the woman he loved or the revolution that was the last hope for the future.

If you just listened to the Robot series before buying this one, you’ll be a bit disappointed. The main character’s misogyny didn’t age well and makes him pretty annoying. The voice acting is ok.

Meh

Loved the ending. It's fascinating to hear so many of the usual sci-fi tropes in their infancy from 70 years ago... but without computers. Definitely worth a listen.

Great story

Great one off story for anyone trying to dip their toes into the writing of Isaac Asimov.

Singular and poetic

if you're reading the reviews, I'll reiterate what you've already seen. The book, although short, is a grind to get through. The lead character is a jerk who seems to spend a good chunk of the book mad at everyone including the people who would like to help him. You don't need this series to connect the Robots series to the Foundation series. It's totally separate so unless you are on a mission to read everything Asimov wrote, you can safely skip this series. I know I won't be reading the next two books.

It's not very good.
