Christopher Rain is one of the 8 narrators (so far), I can listen without break and have no problems to follow. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me. The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. ![]() ![]() It was hard to listen in the knowledge, Kenneth isn't with us anymore, but I love his voice.

His fiction-writing skills had not deserted him and are finely intermingled with his non-fiction writing skills. In particular, he manages to gloss over the problems of miniaturization rather neatly and take advantage of the opportunity to tell a surprising amount about the human body. This is also the only sf novel Asimov wrote in the 1960’s, as his focus had shifted almost entirely to non-fiction after Sputnik and would remain there until The Gods Themselves was published six years later.įor all that the basic plot of the movie is not Asimov’s, he still tells the story well. ![]() It actually represents an improvement on the screenplay in a number of ways, but Asimov was still sufficiently disappointed in it that he was willing to rewrite the same basic scenario his way twenty years later as Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain (which is distinctly worse than Fantastic Voyage). This is a novel which is not really Asimov’s responsibility, inasmuch as it is a novelization of somebody else’s screenplay. ![]() ![]() Can David save his son, prove his innocence, and finally uncover the dark truth about that devastating night?
