ASTOUNDING John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlen, L. Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction

Nevala-Lee explores how science fiction became a mainstream genre by looking at the men who launched its golden age and how they interacted. Narrator Sean Runnette's deep and languid voice aligns well with a story that looks back at a world of yesteryear and a realm that held tight to being a boys' club. Nevala-Lee covers how the authors rose to prominence and how they eventually passed from both their fame and lives. It's here that Runnette does some of his best work, giving emphasis and emotional depth to their words and their passings. Nevala-Lee's rich history captures both the promises and problems that science fiction has to offer. L.E. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2019]
