Prelude to Foundation

In 1966 Isaac Asimov won the prestigious Hugo Award for the Foundation Trilogy. The books, written during WWII and the Korean War, describe the fall of the established order and the rise of new worlds. As the popular series was issued in its fifteenth printing, Asimov wrote this prequel. Larry McKeever is a slow, careful reader. He speaks clearly, not relying on distinctive voicing to delineate characters. Initially, his delivery seems wooden, but this is a long recording, and the style of presentation wears well. Occasionally there are inconsistencies in the sound level. Fans of the Foundation Trilogy will relish this new galactic adventure. L.R.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
