Description:

A story of galactic intrigue and adventure, this is the second novel of the Galactic Empire, the period between our own time and the universe of Asimov's "Foundation" series. Mankind has conquered space and moved toward the starry heart of the galaxy. ### Review Praise for *The Stars, Like Dust*: “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* ### About the Author 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.
