Description
Twenty-two of the finest science fiction short stories from one of the genre’s greatest writers, Isaac Asimov.
Isaac Asimov was the Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America, the founder of robot ethics, and one of the world's most prolific authors of fiction and non-fiction. Asimov’s short fiction has been enjoyed by millions for more than half a century.
Within this collection are stories often voted among the best science fiction stories of all time, such as Mother Earth, which explores the consequences of Earth’s colonies imposing immigration quotas against Terran immigrants.
Asimov is equally adept at the creation of galaxy-spanning full-length novels and highly polished short stories. It is the second aspect of his unrivalled talent that is displayed to full advantage here. This is an unsurpassed showcase of Asimov's storytelling talent.

About the Author
Isaac Asimov was born in Russia near Smolensk in 1920. He was brought to the United States by his parents three years later and grew up in Brooklyn. He graduated from Columbia University in chemistry and after a short spell in the Army, gained his doctorate in 1949 and qualified as an instructor in biochemistry at Boston University School of Medicine, where he became Associate Professor in 1955. He retired to full-time authorship in 1958 while retaining his connection with the University. His first story ‘Marooned Off Vesta’ appeared in 1939 in Amazing Stories. Asimov became a regular contributor to the leading SF magazines of the day including Astounding, Astonishing Stories, Super Science Stories and Galaxy. He won the Hugo Award four times and the Nebula Award once. With nearly five hundred books to his credit and several hundred articles, Asimov’s output was prolific by any standards.
Isaac Asimov died in 1992 at the age of 72.
