Birthright: The Book of Man is a brilliant novel of science fiction that carefully constructs a blueprint of mankind's history—social, political, economic, scientific, and religious—for the next 18,000 years.

Since Mike Resnick first wrote Birthright: The Book of Man in 1982, he has emerged as one of the most honored science fiction authors of his time, picking up some twenty-five Hugo and Nebula nominations and awards. He has set twenty-five novels and a novella in the future that was outlined in this book. For those who missed it the first time around, Birthright: The Book of Man is a mind-boggling, all-encompassing science-fiction book.

      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. G.T.B.
