Del Rey The Stars, Like Dust

The book is very well readable. I would say the letters are huge compared to what I am used to, but that is only the advantage as I get fast through the pages. The content of the book is, as always, amazing. I read 2 of his books: The Pebble in the Sky and I, Robot. The first one was wonderful and I fell in low with the story. I, Robot, however, was not that interesting as the other one so I decided to go with Stars, like dust and see whether I really like Isaacs's writing style or not. I must say that this book has surprised me positively, as it is the same style of interesting intrigues and some looking-in-the-future type of things, such as space travel, various devices, how the people will organise on a cosmic level. It has a nice story, and got me carried away right off the start, I literally had to stop myself not to read it in one breath. To anyone who loves dreaming, imagining some new worlds, please, treat yourself and read the book. I am a prime member and the delivery was fast, everything ok, as usual. The best delivery out there, tbh.

Asimov's Galactic Empire Series has long enjoyed some great reputation. The Stars, Like Dust was the first one that I personally read, and I was immediately hooked. Although it is a science fiction, the plot did not overly focus on the science part, which makes it all the more enjoyable for common readers. Asimov carefully crafted the story to blend in suspense, romance, action, ideas, and intellectual discussion. This is an easy read where most people can find some part that resonates with him/herself. The final twists that covered multiple layers of surprises will absolutely keep your brain working and your hands turning the page. Highly recommend it.

Livro maravilhoso, traça os caminhos da ficção científica. Leitura recomendada. Asimov no seu melhor. Leitura obrigatória juntamente com a séria Foundation.

This is a 2009 edition of a novel that was originally published in 1951. This edition is a well-made paperback, published in America by Tom Doherty Associates. Very good to have it available on Amazon India. According to the internal, fictional, chronology, “The Stars, Like Dust” forms the first book of the three-book Empire series by the great American sci-fi writer, Isaac Asimov. In the empire series, mankind has spread over multiple planets around the Galaxy. There are various kingdoms across the Galaxy and a Galactic Empire is slowly taking shape. (An empire in which the events of Asimov’s seven-volume Foundation series subsequently take place.) Like any sci-fi written by Asimov, the novel is entertaining and enjoyable. But it is not Asimov’s best work. In fact, Asimov himself thought it to be his worst work. I think there is just one cringeworthy bit in there that makes it bad; the rest of it is fantastic as usual. Biron Farrill, a student studying in a university on Earth, is the son of the king of the planet Widemos (where a king are called “rancher”). One day Farrill hears that his father has been murdered, probably by the despotic rulers of a planet called Tyrann, …

Another great series of Asimov books with fast delivery
