Product Description
From AudioFile
It seems like Resnick's episodic science fiction novel should make an ideal audiobook. Though it covers the next several thousand years of human history, he tells his sweeping story in a series of adventures that illustrate single, focused ideas in clear, accessible prose. However, Adams Morgan's narration doesn't fit the work, and so diminishes its appeal. Morgan's voice is clear, but he keeps a great emotional distance and maintains too regular a pace, undercutting the action and adding an irony not in the original. What's more, because individual character voices are not well differentiated from one another, humans and aliens sound pretty much alike, which is confusing.

You HAVE to read it. It's about you. I promise.,

This review is from: Birthright: The Book of Man (Paperback)
Do you belong to the race of man? Then this book is about you. Resnick has brought all five billion of us along on this magnificent journey. You will feel joy and grief, burning shame and blazing pride. Birthright shows humanity's potential- for good, for evil, and for humanity. This book is very personal- for everyone.

The most underated and under published sci-fi book ever.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Birthright: The Book of Man (Paperback)
I'm not sure why this book was out of print for so long. I hoarded copies of it, loaning it out to only my most trusted friends for years. It is certainly a book up there with Greg Bear's Eon, Frank Herbert's Jesus Incident and Dune and the Foundation series.If you're a fan of sci-fi, Galactic strategy games or scathing social commentary, you will completely enjoy Birthright.

Stick with Resnick and you won't go wrong- GUARANTEED!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Birthright: The Book of Man (Paperback)
If this is as good as his collection, "Kirinyaga", expect excellent, thought-provoking, award-winnig level prose (He recently won yet another Hugo for Short Story).
