Born in Russia, Isaac Asimov lived in Boston and in New York City most of his life. He died in 1992 at the age of 72.
Science fiction on the larger scale is Isaac Asimov's specialty.
The scene of his new book, a rousing adventure story of the remote
future, is the Galaxy, which, with its hundreds of inhabited
planets has been taken over by a dictatorial race called,
appropriately enough, the Tyranni. A small group of rebels wage a
determined battle against the dictators, giving Mr. Asimov plenty
of opportunities to plot those involved and subtle twists for which
he is known. Its clear writing and excellent suspense make this
book a welcome addition to the science fiction lists. "The New York
Times" This little novel will transport you back to a simpler time,
when storylines we are jaded towards today were fresh and
intoxicating, and that gosh-wow! sense of wonder covered science
fiction like a layer of fine, gold dust. "SFReviews.net""
