Best of Isaac Asimov (MP3)

And whoever says it can it be so? Can the word 'best' mean anything at all, except to some particular person in some particular mood? ... So I'll be honest with all of you. What is included here in this book are a dozen stories chosen in such a way as to span a third of a century of writing ... 

In 1696, Christopher Ellis, a young, hot-tempered gentleman, is sent to the Tower of London, but not as a prisoner. A sudden twist of fate has led him there to assist the renowned scientist Sir Isaac Newton, who as Warden of the Royal Mint has accepted an appointment to hunt down counterfeiters who threaten to topple the shaky, war-weakened economy. Armed with Newton’s superior intellect and Ellis’s skill with a sword, the new partners seem primed to solve the case. But when their investigation leads them to a mysterious coded message on a corpse hidden in the Lion Tower, they realize that something more sinister is afoot.
