About this listen

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.

2 dimensional characters and poor dialogue lets the Galactic empire series down. The terrible narration of Jon Lindstrom doesn’t help either - read in a stoccato style which grates on the ear.
However if you’re listening to this as your first intro to Asimov don’t despair. The great narration of William Hope and the well rounded characters and intrigue and imaginative storyline of Robot series and Foundation are excellent so perservere!

Disappointing but persevere with Asimov
