Nemesis

A Novel

By: Isaac Asimov

Narrated by: Scott Brick

“A totally new and original work that stretches his talents to their fullest . . . welcome back, champ!”—The Detroit News

In the twenty-third century pioneers have escaped the crowded earth for life in self-sustaining orbital colonies. One of the colonies, Rotor, has broken away from the solar system to create its own renegade utopia around an unknown red star two light-years from Earth: a star named Nemesis.

Now a fifteen-year-old Rotorian girl has learned of the dire threat that nemesis poses to Earth’s people—but she is prevented from warning them. Soon she will realize that Nemesis endangers Rotor as well. And so it will be up to her alone to save both Earth and Rotor as—drawn inexorably by Nemesis, the death star—they hurtle toward certain disaster.

Critic reviews

"A totally new and original work that stretches his talents to their fullest. . .welcome back, champ!"--The Detroit News

a neat story. lil cringe

cool story. the authors obsession with analyzing the sex apeal of every female charecter they introduce even if their 12 is a bit off putting but i still listened to the end

hidden treasure

get one more hidden treasure from the master a science fiction. the concept portrayed in the book is not one visited a lot by other authors and was refreshing.

red curry

excellent book good to the very end can't wait to read the next one now

Tedious and boring

Repetitive and boring. A perfect example of too much about too little. The story really needed significant editing. Mr. Niven is an amazing and outstanding author but the editor let him down.

Good stuff

I had no problem finishing this book. The twists were reasonable and rewarding. Some characters were more fleshed out than others, but I feel that's somewhat common in Asimov - every character doesn't have to have depth.

Scott brick is one of my favorite narrators, he doesn't try to do strange voices and I appreciate that.
