    A stunning testament to his creative genius. Forward The Foundation is a the saga's dramatic climax - the story Asimov fans have been waiting for. An exciting tale of danger, intrigue, and suspense, Forward The Foundation brings to vivid life Asimov's best loved characters: hero Hari Seldon, who struggles to perfect his revolutionary theory of psychohistory to ensure the survival of humanity; Cleon II, the vain and crafty emperor of the Galactic Empire.

    Would you try another book from Isaac Asimov and/or Larry McKeever?

    I will listen to another book from Isaac Asimov, but will avoid any book read by Larry McKeever if it is not a part of a series.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Larry McKeever, in his odd pauses and overly annunciated way, sounded much as a voice from an old Apple Macintosh computer. This mechanical intrusion of the story made it very difficult as I was trying to grasp the overall times and intended feel of the story. It required re-listening to the beginning quarter of the book twice before I finally found myself able to ignore Mr. McKeever's reading style and was able to immerse myself in Asimov's wonderfully imaginative world on the third try.


    Was Forward the Foundation worth the listening time?

    Even though I had originally had difficulty with Larry McKeever's reading style, it was still an excellent story. If you have enjoyed the previous books in the series, I would strongly recommend this one.


    Any additional comments?

    This was my favorite story of the series so far. The personal relationships, with the continuous suspense of wondering how Harry was going to be able pull off this invention of psycho-history, as well as the "life" of this great man created an emotionally entwined and overall triumphant feel of a great story.
