Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘Isaac Asimov was one of the great explainers of the age...It will never be known how many practicing scientists today, in how many countries, owe their initial inspiration to a book, article, or short story by Isaac Asimov’
Carl Sagan
‘Asimov displayed one of the most dynamic imaginations in science fiction’
Daily Telegraph
‘Asimov’s career was one of the most formidable in science fiction’
The Times
The definitive collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov, supreme master of the science fiction genre, continues with Volume Two of 'The Complete Stories'. The Good Doctor was always ahead of his time and his work stands today as the clearest expression of our collective hopes and fears for the future. But the ever expanding popularity of his stories with young and old readers alike is explained by their wit, zest and human interest.
Herein are 23 compelling stories, ranging from the very surprising heart-tugger 'The Ugly Little Boy' to the overwhelming vision of 'Nightfall', often voted the best science fiction story of all time. In these stories Asimov’s vivid awareness of the potential of technology is translated into human dilemmas that are more relevant today than ever before.
“Asimov’s career was one of the most formidable in science fiction”
THE TIMES

“A publishing project that ranks with the building of the pyramids and summons proof, if it was ever needed, that Asimov’s stature in the field is richly deserved”
