The first novel of the Asteroid Wars about earth's near future from the "leading light of hard Science Fiction and space advocacy"*
Once, Dan Randolph was one of the richest men on Earth. Now the planet is spiralling into environmental disaster, with floods and earthquakes destroying the lives of millions. Martin Humphries, fabulously wealthy heir of the Humphries Trust, also knows that space-based industry is the way of the future. But unlike Randolph he does not care if Earth perishes in the process. As Randolph—accompanied by two brilliant women astronauts—flies out to the Asteroid Belt aboard a fusion-propelled spacecraft, Humphries makes his move. The future of mankind lies in Randolph's hands.

Eleştirmen yorumları

“Bova gets better and better, combining plausible science with increasingly complex fiction.” —Los Angeles Daily News on The Precipice

“Stefan Rudnicki, producer and one of the performers, has picked his readers well. 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.” —AudioFile on The Precipice

Would you listen to The Precipice again? Why?

Maybe.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

Ben Bova's Grand Tour books are usually very good, though this one is only okay. The story takes quite a while to get going, though when it does it is very good. However the recording has too many narrators which makes listening a little bit confusing.

Had to fast forward the female narrator, she was terrible. Her narration was childish and spoke as if she had a permanent grin on her face, very irritating. Male narrators great, but the female spoilt this edition of a great series.

Why, why change the narrator?
