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.

      Legendary science fiction novelist Isaac Asimov offers this visionary story of Biron Farrell, a University of Earth student who becomes the central target in an intergalactic conspiracy that takes the life of his father and sends him into the far depths of space. Read by narrator Stephen Thorne, the story comes to life in an intimate reading as honest and straightforward as it is underplayed. Thorne doesn't try to dazzle listeners with cheap thrills, such as phony alien accents or manufactured tension. He simply takes Asimov's well-crafted prose and allows it to lead the way. His genuine reading will touch listeners with its sheer simplicity. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
