About this listen

“A totally new and original work that stretches his talents to their fullest...welcome back, champ!” (The Detroit News)

In the 23rd 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 15-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.

I was very disappointed. I have read & enjoyed many of Asimov's books but the characters in this were so backward and lacking I want sure he had actually written it.

Isaac what?

The story, all in all, was really good. Some of the characters I did not like. The daughter should have been told that she did not know what could happen. I had a visceral dislike of the mother. The story, world building, and even the planet, were fantastic.

good story bad characters

I gave it four stars for performance because sometimes the narrator would slip out of a specific voice he was doing and into a more generic voice.

excellent story, good narration

Another great story from Asimov. Despite the claim of being “unconnected” to the Foundation series, he just couldn’t seem to help himself but make overtures to that world. Love it.

Story’s great and Scott does a great job reading it.

As with all of Asimov's novels, the character development and clear thinking throughout the story. One of his best.

It's pretty easy going task to go through the whole novel. Easy to understand and not much of going on. Seems like a great setup for larger story with more details, or could be much shorter and accomplish the same effect. I'd love if there was more developed character of you know who, don't want to spoil, it was really just glanced over, I'd love to see much more on how Asimov imagined it exist, a missed opportunity.

Decent novel, don't expect too much

I read Nemesis in paperback long ago and have wait a long time to listen to as an audiobook. Scot Brick is my favorite reader and I would also like to have him read the Robert Silverberg expansion of the Asimov short story Nightfall. Please

Just as good as I remember the book
