Gotta Love the Bolitho tales.

Revisado: 12-04-24

Alexander Kent writes an engaging tale here. I’m continuously amazed at how some of these authors can weave so much character development into such intimate knowledge of the time periods they write about. Literally like being transported back in time.

It’s James SA Corey doing what those guys do!

Revisado: 09-07-24

These two are absolutely the best of the genre. Right up there with all the greats. If anyone ever tells you that sci-fi isn’t great literature, hand them a James SA Corey novel. Since this is an audio book immense credit must also go to the brilliance of Jefferson Mays narration. His pace and phrasing truly bring the author’s vision into view. Can’t enough good things about this book.

Wow! What a mind bender.

Dr. Lincoln is an excellent educator that is able to give the listener a clear picture of complex topics. How various discoveries built upon each other throughout the history of physics and cosmology. He’s presentation is accessible and eloquent. Just buy it. You’ll finally really grasp general relativity.

Well read

Been a fan of Niven since high school. I’ll have to listen to more. The story is very well narrated.

Great podcast by knowledgeable author.

Revisado: 03-03-23

If you’re interested at all in Victorian era history and trivia this is the best listen you’ll get on the subject. The material is presented with restrained exuberance by an author that is clearly in love with his subject. You’ll learn so much from listening to this podcast.

Jehoshaphat!!!

Revisado: 02-24-23

Wow, what a writer this guy was. So many great minds came out of the twentieth century and Asimov can certainly be counted among them. The way he ties his work together is fantastic. But even more so what he has to say regarding the value of AI and the way to guard ourselves against its dangers through the robotic laws is quite profound. In Asimov’s world it is our ability to create AI, along with our foresight to guard against it’s possible dangers that is the very thing that ensures our survival. The entire concept of psycho-history being conceived of by a robot with telepathic abilities and then implanted into the mind of Dr. Fastolf is such an act of storytelling genius. Asimov not only ties together his life’s work but places his insight into human nature and his philosophy front and center. Tying it all together, decades of writing and thought into the final scene of the final chapter. He gives us a dire warning along with a hopeful direction based on the value of humanity which he so obviously holds dear. This work is a masterpiece.

Asimov and Brick!

Revisado: 02-02-23

Excellent prequel to the Foundation series and great tie in with the Robot series. Cool plot twist at the end. Oh and it’s narrated by Scott Brick. Enough said.

Where’s Scott Brick?!!

Revisado: 01-27-23

An absolute work of genius by one of the literary masters of Science Fiction. Should be required reading as many of society’s issues are presented with an elegant solution within the story. Story is fantastic. The narration is incredibly disappointing. Scott Brick has narrated all the other books in the series. Why not this one?? Get Scott Brick to do it!! Pay the guy whatever he wants. Amazon has the resources. This is Sci-Fi at its most important form. Fix this!!

Just keeps getting better

The voice acting work is excellent. This guy is among the best. Character development takes a leap forward in this one. The stakes in the story escalate. I simply can’t stop listening to this story as the author makes you feel such a level of familiarity with the characters it’s like you’re there in the story with them.

Fun!

Revisado: 10-29-22

This whole series is just a fun adventure romp through the galaxy. Great military sci-fi adventure. Characters are believable people that careen from one crisis to another. This author is an excellent writer that is deliberately writing a fun entertaining story. Please understand that this is not literature. It has nothing profound to offer. If you’re expecting something along the lines of Herbert, SA Corey, Gibson, etc, this isn’t it. It makes few statements other than displaying the moral compass of its characters. This story provides a necessary relief from today’s constant barrage of horrific news and societal discord. Make no mistake this guy is a masterful writer. His character development creates very believable people. So much so that you get the sense you’re in the room with them. Oh yeah and “Monkeys kick As_!”
