SYNOPSIS: No work of science fiction in this century has captured the imagination of so many readers as the epic future history put forth, over the last fifty years, in the stories and novels of Isaac Asimov. Now, for the first time, a select group of the Good Doctor's fellow writers have been allowed to explore this astonishing creation from their own unique perspectives. - and - His stunning vision of humanity's future in the Galaxy has amazed and astonished millions for over half a century - from his tales of near-future, nearly human Positronic Robots to his vast saga of galactic Empire and Foundation. Now, in a very special tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Good Doctor's SF career, seventeen of today's most imaginative writers explore the worlds of Isaac Asimov, making fresh and exciting contributions to the 20th century's most famous and well-beloved science-fictional universe.
