'Nemesis' by Isaac Asimov (1990), Read by Peter MacNicol

Ойындар

"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."

My sincere thanks to the uploader, Peter MacNicol and of course, Isaac Asimov. From now on I'll be counting: 6

    The thing I REALLY love about Asimov's novels, is his outstanding inventiveness in creating names for both his characters and locations! They are often unique, yet still sound very familiar. The Foundation series is probably the greatest example of this, but all the novels, including Nemesis, show it.

    As a matter of fact, i really think they must have not even been aware that there were actually other books. Books that were, maybe, just a tad bit more fleshed out in regards to the overall story that many people spent many,many years both writing and reading in an attempt to foster the ongoing storylines within which so many invested parts of their lives. And along comes Disney! The chance of a lifetime to carry on the galactic peril of, not only the republic against imperial domination, but the underlying stories of the mercs, the bands, the sith, jedi, galactic invasion, and all the other stuff i probably missed . instead, they opt for a rewrite that makes that impossible with hansdeath, but does it with a rehash of the original episode made. just utter lack of responsibility . FfsJJ! WwyT? Gimme back my $132.oo even my kidS thought it a copy of A new hope.

    Really loved this recording...Peter MacNicol is an ideal reader for this sort of story, as I have always felt there is something 'otherworldly' about him and his tones...never really read much Asimov, just I'Robot really, he seemed too idealistic to me about the future (I am steeped in the likes of Philip K Dick and J.G Ballard myself, even at an early age when perhaps I shouldn't have been reading the likes of Ballard) and that sort of undercuts them for me...that, and occasionally I feel his characters to be more ciphers than actual people...but this story was amazing and I really liked how Marlena, Jinnah, Fisher, Wendell and Eugenia were all drawn. Obviously I need to read more Asimov! Thank you for the upload :)

How many times do you need to hear him wistfully claim his desire to reduce the world's population by...70%... before you understand the drive behind this phony planned farce. 70% population reduction. NO JOKE. but hey. If only the sheep take the vaccine... Perhaps the world will be better after the purge.

    It's interesting that Asimov, writing in 1989, thought that even in the 2200s the planets around nearby stars would remain undiscovered. We already know far more about them in 2022 than he envisioned would be known in 2235. And with the JWST we'll learn much more over the next decade.

    Alina Almasan, Isaac Asimov wrote 3 separate series (Robot novels, Foundation novels, Empire novels) that, in his last-written works, were tied together in a "Foundation Universe" (with at least 15 books in all). If read in the "chronological" order of their place in the future; you'd read (listen to) first the 5 Robot novels (starting with the compilation, "The Complete Robot"; then: Caves of Steel, Naked Sun, Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire. Then you'd go to the 7 Foundation novels: Prelude To Foundation, Forward the Foundation, Foundation, Foundation And Empire, 2nd Foundation, Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth. Lastly, you'd go to the 3 (Galactic) Empire novels: The Currents of Space, The Stars Like Dust, and Pebble In The Sky.Nemesis could be included in this series of series and it would come first. "The End Of Eternity" could also be included (as a kind of prequel to the Empire novels). I read these 17 or so novels endlessly to our kids as they were growing up. I'd highly recommend every last one of these books except: "The Stars Like Dust" - about which Asimov himself said he was kind of pressured into including a sub-plot (about the US Constitution) which he later much regretted including; and, because of that, he said it was his least favorite book).Asimov wrote one book per month for his entire adult life, almost 500 in all (in addition to his famous Sci-Fi classics; he wrote easy-to-understand wonderful works about subjects in virtually every single division of the Dewey Library System). His Sci-Fi works were characterized by his inclusion of many science-based themes - making them very comprehensive and powerful.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov#Science_fiction_2

    This was the first science fiction novel I'd ever read by myself without the help of a teacher, unless you count 'The Giver', which was more of a novella. 'A Wrinkle in Time' we read together in elementary school. This audiobook goes good with Gundam Unicorn's main theme. They even seem to inhabit a similar political situation. Their technology is even somewhat compatible. Prime real-estate for a cross-over.

    I remember buying the book when it first came out, and I also remember being very disappointed with it - It felt like a rush job to cash in on the new Nemesis theory. Unusually for me, I only read it once before getting rid of it, never wanting to read it again. So many good reviews here, I'll have to at least start to try it a second time to check my reaction to the first time. The book about the discovery of Nemesis couldn't be called "Nemesis" because this book came out first; it's "Nemesis, the Death Star" and is a fascinating read

Every star is in some sort of orbit, around the Galactic center.!!!!. theoretically, a stellar-mass object could be sufficiently deflected 'above or below' the plane of its normal orbital path. deflection Should be carried out at the most opportune time; or , as soon as possible. cheers
