Über dieses Buch

Empire is a science fiction novel by Clifford D. Simak, first published in 1951.

In a future time, the solar system is powered by one energy source, controlled by one huge organisation, which has plans to use this control to dominate the planets.

Unknown to them, a couple of maverick scientists accidentally develop a completely new form of energy supply and threaten the corporation's monopoly. Naturally, the corporation can't allow this to happen...

A stunning story about the manipulation of pure energy, climaxing in interstellar conflict.

Total Running Time (TRT): 4 hours, 55 min. Reading by Kevin Green.
