It puts the entire nuclear circus in exactly the mad sort of perspective it deserves. Buy two copies: keep one, and send the other to your senator'' (Stephen King). View more info

SF novel, sequel to FANTASTIC VOYAGE (1966).''twenty-one years ago when the movie FANTASTIC VOYAGE was released, Asimov was hired to do the novelization. The book was successful but, to Asimov, not satisfying, for ``I never felt it to be entirely mine.'' Now he has rewritten it his way, and it's good. The story concerns Albert Jonas Morrison, a 21st century neurophysicist, and otherwise an ordinary and unheroic man, who is kidnapped and taken to the Soviet Union. A major Soviet scientist, Pyotr Shapirov, is in an irreversible coma, and Morrison's special expertise could be of value. Th... View more info

Classic sf robot stories. Some of these robot stories were adapted for the BBC television series Out of the Unknown. Although Harlan Ellison wrote a screenplay for I, Robot in 1978 - eventually published as I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay (1994) - the film I, Robot (2004) is unrelated to this script and connected only distantly to Asimov's stories.''..it was the third story of the Robot series, ''Liar!''
