Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson.
Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).Īsimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Perhaps this was a conscious decision by Asimov, to put you in a situation where you're unsure of yourself and unsure of what is happening, similar to what Schwartz is experiencing.Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. Unfortunately, that's when the story slows down pretty suddenly.
But you're desperate to find out what happens next.
You learn that the main character, Joseph Schwartz, has just instantaneously traveled through time to the distant future, and he has no idea what is going on. Pebble in the Sky starts in a pretty exciting way, putting you in the action quickly. Spoiler alert! In this review I won't give away the ending or any major plot points, but I may give away a few too many hints for those of you who prefer no spoilers whatsoever. I thought it especially fitting that my first Asimov reading be his first novel. This was a huge oversight on my part that I was glad to finally remedy. I have read a decent amount of science fiction and fantasy, including most of what Robert Heinlein wrote, and many many other books by authors such as Alan Dean Foster, William Gibson, Douglas Adams, Orson Scott Card, Madeleine L'Engle, Ursula K. I was very excited to have the opportunity to review Isaac Asimov's book, Pebble in the Sky.
