About the Author:

ROBERT SILVERBERG began to write while studying for his B.A. at Columbia University. In 1956 he won a Hugo Award as ''Most Promising New Author.'' He contributed to magazines such as Science Fiction Adventures and Super-Science Fiction, using many different names. His psychologically intense novellas, A Time of Changes and, later, Sailing to Byzantium, are both Nebula Award winners. He remains one of the most imaginative and versatile writers in science fiction.

From AudioFile:

The first installment of Silverberg's celebrated Majipoor Cycle makes for relaxing listening. In an unhurried bass voice, Stefan Rudnicki calmly escorts the listener through the expansively descriptive world of Majipoor, an ancient and fantastical kingdom which, having forgotten conflict, is, nonetheless, on the brink of civil war. Particularly difficult vocal challenges include a bureaucratic two-headed alien, who is achieved though vocal skill rather than special effects. Although Rudnicki ably performs a myriad of characters, most notably the whimsical Lord Valentine, his expressive voice resonates better in prose than in his brief performances of the romantic love interest's singing.
