Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Stars, Like Dust
Isaac Asimov · 2020
56/100
👎 Skip It
Even Asimov admitted he wasn't fond of this one, mostly blaming his editor for the tacked-on ending. It's a quick, easy entry into his Galactic Empire universe, but it's thinner and less ambitious than his best work, so treat it as a curiosity rather than a must-read.
