The Precipice (The Asteriod Wars, Book 1)

With Earth on the verge of total environmental disaster, Dan Randolph and two female astronauts embark on a mission to the Asteroid Belt in a last ditch quest to salvage the future of all life on the planet, but their efforts could be threatened by the machinations of Martin Humphries, the ruthless, fabulously wealthy heir to the Humphries Trust.

Stefan Rudnicki, producer and one of the performers, has picked his readers well. In fact, he is himself one of the best of them. Each scene generally concentrates on one of the lead characters, so Rudnicki assigns a particular reader to a particular character throughout the book. The technique works. The listener has no difficulty picturing the scenes and character interactions as the book wanders across a landscape divided among an ecologically ravaged Earth, spaceships, the moon, space stations, and an few asteroids out in the Belt. Bova has written better books, but the performances here enhance the work indeed. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
