This is an excellent tale by one of the masters of Science Fiction, well worth the read. I can't understand why some reviewers give it such a low rating. Maybe if there were light sabers, blasters, and evil aliens it would have rated better... and it is a single volume, maybe they would have been more favorable if it had sequels, prequels, and parallel stories.Nemesis presents an unusual story, Earth is over-crowded and colony ships are leaving as soon as they can. This story follows Rotor, one of the ships, called Settlements, and some of the people aboard it. Advances in space travel have been occurring due to the Settlements research. The Rotor is the first ship capable of Hyper-Assistance, not a true ftl but better than a chemical boost. They also discover that Earth's Sun has a ... and around that ... there is a planet, a very strange planet that is not exactly inhabited, but also not lifeless. And then there's Marlene, a very unusual girl...If you enjoy reading, haven't read this before (or even if you have!) pick up a copy and read it, you will not regret it!
Nemesis was written near the end of Asimov's life and career. It is possible to argue that his best work was behind him and he should have called it a day but I think this novel is still worth a read.All the classic elements of Asimov are here. This is hard SF with astrophysics and other hard sciences playing a major role in the development of the plot. At times it gets a little bogged down with explaining scientific concepts and the characters seem like they are there just to bounce ideas off each other but if you have read and enjoyed Asimov or any other hard SF author before then you probably won't mind.This is not in the same league as classic Asimov such as the Foundation series but it is still better than your average science fiction novel and worth your time.
Asimov begins Nemesis with a note to the effect that this isn't part of the Foundation, Empire, or Robots series, but he might at some point write a novel to try and join them. But as readers of those series will tell you, he's going to have a tough job marrying a story about how a group of arrogant but highly intelligent Earth-hating humans leave the Solar System in the early part of the third millennium to colonize new worlds with, say, the Robots series, which concerns a bunch of colonized worlds inhabited by Earth-hating highly intelligent humans at the end of the third millennium.Ok, I'm being a smartarse, but then, when discussing Asimov, that almost seems appropriate. Asimov was asked by his editor to write something that wasn't "A Foundation novel, or a Robot novel, or an Empire novel", and he, technically, did as she wished, but I doubt many Robots/Empire/Foundation fans will care much, and will, as I did, wallow in another masterful fantasy, which stands on its own in its own right, but will immediately be recognizable to fans of the great Robots/Foundation universe nonetheless.Asimov describes a world 200-300 years from now, where the first steps towards extra-terrestrial habitation are being made. One colony decides to make a jump to a nearby hither-to undiscovered star, only to discover that the star is likely to put Earth in peril. All of which would lead to a simple resolution if only the colonists didn't hate Earthmen, and the people of Earth didn't hate the colonists.Enter Marlene, a highly intelligent 15 year old colonist who is, by far, probably the best character I've seen Asimov paint. Can she save Earth? Does she want to?To go into more detail would probably spoil the plot, but Asimov builds a convincing second solar system with an unfamiliar and original arrangement of planets and worlds, and as usual Asimov doesn't ever feel tempted to spoil the science for the plot, instead working it in and making the beauty of worlds light-years away real and solid. Indeed, in this respect it does differ from the other R/E/F novels: There's a "real" solar system here, not some copy of our own, but one where Asimov has clearly done the calculations and could probably have told you the position of each asteroid in the system if only you'd asked him.As always, human failings come to the surface, and Asimov shows passionate concern about human prejudice, pride, and hatred.The novel has faults: it does not exactly grab the reader by the throat, feels too long, and too much of it has been done before. Indeed, towards the end Nemesis begins to feel like a low-budget Star Trek episode. If Asimov had shown his usual tendencies towards cardboard characterization, this might have been not much better.Fortunately, Nemesis is better: It is easily read, the characters are often wonderful, the science is at once both believable and interesting, and even Asimov's trademark conversations have a different degree of humour to them. It's certainly worth putting up with the lacking-something ending for what is otherwise a great read.
This is not Asimov' best work, nor his 10th best. That doesn't mean it's not a great read, and good sci fi, but when it is compared to his other works it pales. Significantly. The coincidences are too much, it's "tiny universe" syndrome at its worse, and there never really feels like there is any real struggle, there's no true villain, but it's a story that really needed one. Not all science fiction, hell not even all fiction needs a villain, but this story did and it lacked one. There's no real sense that everything won't turn out alright, and the ending relies on a combination of a mid-read checkov's gun and a classic macguffin... a McCheckin? A Checkguffin? Either way it's too saccharine.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but Asimov simply amazes me. I love his characters and his ability to "spin a tale" that keeps you interested and wanting to know more. Nemesis involves a young girl with strange abilities that make her outcast from some parts of society but very much loved and needed by others (read the book, its a surprise). It takes you through more than hyper-space with even newer technological advances and how much certain people worry about what is going to happen to a planet 5,000 years down the road and what to do about it. I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it to anyone who likes a good SciFi read.
Asimov presents a brilliantly creative story about space exploration with the backdrop of impending doom. The story is feasible and quite interesting, but the characters are not as great. Marlene, the young female protagonist, is annoying and not very likable. There is a general lack of a strong antagonist as well. The rising actions lead to a lackluster climax and an abrupt ending. I was genuinely excited until the last two chapters which left me a bit disappointed.I have not read much Asimov, but this book was enticing enough for me to pick up Foundation and his other great works.
