About the author
Isaac Asimov
4,341 books27.9k followersWorks of prolific Russian-American writer Isaac Asimov include popular explanations of scientific principles,
The Foundation Trilogy
(1951-1953), and other volumes of fiction.
Isaac Asimov, a professor of biochemistry, wrote as a highly successful author, best known for his books.
Asimov, professor, generally considered of all time, edited more than five hundred books and ninety thousand letters and postcards. He published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey decimal classification but lacked only an entry in the category of philosophy (100).
People widely considered Asimov, a master of the genre alongside Robert Anson Heinlein and Arthur Charles Clarke as the "big three" during his lifetime. He later tied Galactic Empire and the Robot into the same universe as his most famous series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those that Heinlein pioneered and Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson previously produced. He penned "Nightfall," voted in 1964 as the best short story of all time; many persons still honor this title. He also produced well mysteries, fantasy, and a great quantity of nonfiction. Asimov used Paul French, the pen name, for the Lucky Starr, series of juvenile novels.
Most books of Asimov in a historical way go as far back to a time with possible question or concept at its simplest stage. He often provides and mentions well nationalities, birth, and death dates for persons and etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Guide to Science, the tripartite set Understanding Physics, and Chronology of Science and Discovery exemplify these books.
Asimov, a long-time member, reluctantly served as vice president of Mensa international and described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs." He took more pleasure as president of the humanist association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, an elementary school in Brooklyn in New York, and two different awards honor his name.

„Пирати от астероидите“ и нейното продължение „Врагът от Сириус“ са прекрасни приключенски фантастики с елементи на криминале! Двете книжки съдържат 6 нетипични истории на Азимов (написал ги под псевдонима Френч), които разказват за различни космически приключения на интересните главни герои Лъки Стар и Бигман.
Действието се развива в бъдещето, когато хората вече са се заселили на други планети в Слънчевата система и отвъд нейните предели. Част от земните колонии, намиращи се на планетите на Сириус, са се отделили и превърнали в опасни врагове на Земята... Книгите са изпълнени с интересни обрати и мистерии! Те са по-различни и по-леки за четене от култовата поредица за „Роботите“ на Азимов, но са също толкова въздействащи и предизвикващи любопитството на читателите към науката!

Three complete novels by Isaac Asimov writing as Paul French. They are classic (1950's) Asimov stories. Lucky is the tall, handsome, clever spaceman with a short, hot tempered, adoring sidekick called Bigman. If you are an Asimov fan, grab this book for your collection! If you are a young adult, grab this book for wonderful, clean space adventure! If you have never read Isaac Asimov's science fiction (gasp!), grab this book!

I recommend this book, and its predecessor, The Adventures of Lucky Starr, for any young reader. The tech is a little out of date, but that does not detract from the stories. I'm certainly no young reader, but I've always enjoyed Asimov's writing style, and these stories were written during his prime, in the early and mid-50's. Enjoy!
