The Stars, Like Dust

(Book #1 in the Galactic Empire series)

Book Overview: The Stars, Like Dust

The first book in the Galactic Empire series, the spectacular precursor to the classic Foundation series, by one of history’s most influential writers of science fiction, Isaac Asimov

His name was Biron Farrill and he was a student at the University of Earth. A native of one of the helpless Nebular Kingdoms, he saw his home world conquered and controlled by the planet Tyrann–a ruthless, barbaric Empire that was building a dynasty of cruelty and domination among the stars.

Farrill’s own father had been executed for trying to resist the Tyrann dictatorship and now someone was trying to kill Biron. But why?

His only hope for survival lay in fleeing Earth and joining the rebellion that was rumored to be forming somewhere in the Kingdoms. But once he cast his lot with the freedom fighters, he would find himself guarding against treachery on every side and facing the most difficult choice of all: to betray either the woman he loved or the revolution that was the last hope for the future.

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov, an author renowned for his prodigious contribution to the science fiction genre, was born on January 2, 1920 in Petrovichi, Russia. He and his family migrated to the United States when he was only three years old, where he later earned degrees in chemistry from Columbia University, including a Ph.D. in 1948. Asimov’s academic training and his insatiable curiosity for science uniquely equipped him to envision a future shaped by technological advancements, which he translated into his imaginative and groundbreaking stories.

In the mid-20th century, Asimov distinguished himself as an innovator of the science fiction genre with his brilliantly crafted narratives, including his iconic “Foundation” series, “Robot” series, and standalone novels such as “The Gods Themselves”. He demonstrated a lucidity and integrity of scientific thought in his writing, rarely overlooking the smallest details in his imagined universes. Asimov’s profound understanding of complex scientific principles allowed him to communicate these concepts to readers in an engaging and comprehensible manner, adding unmatched depth to his stories.

Apart from his scientific literature, Asimov was a prolific writer in various other genres, including mystery and fantasy, and authored several books for scientific education and popular science. He possessed an extraordinary capacity for writing, producing over 500 published works throughout his lifetime. Asimov’s literary prowess not only revolutionized science fiction but also significantly contributed to making science accessible and intriguing to the public. His death in 1992 brought an end to his exemplary career, but his works continue to live on, marking Isaac Asimov as an irreplaceable figure in the annals of both science fiction and scientific literature.
