The Stars, Like Dust (Galactic Empire, #1)

by Isaac Asimov

Mankind has conquered space and moved toward the starry heart of the galaxy. Earth is a planet of no importance, riddled with radioactivity by long-forgotten wars.

When assassins target his rooms and news arrives that, many light-years away, his father has been murdered, student Biron Farrill flees for his life.

Stunned, grief-stricken, and outraged, Biron is determined to uncover the reasons behind his father's death, and finds himself entangled in a web of deep-space rebellion, espionage, and political intrigue.

Asimov's Galactic Empire novels are among the earliest stories by one of the twentieth century's greatest visionaries. Filled with ideas and wonders, they are classic adventures from science fiction's Golden Age.

Naves, saltos interestelares, rebeliones, planetas por descubrir y conquistar y la extraña pero que a la vez me atrapa forma de contar historias que tiene Asimov han hecho de esto una grata aventura. Punto menos por la concepción que tiene el autor de las relaciones amorosas, pero lo demás ha estado genial. Y ese final que ha sido muy grato hace que necesite ahora leer el siguiente.

2nd Book in Asimov's Empire series, and probably the last I'll read. I see why Asimov called this his "least favorite novel". I only wish I knew that beforehand.
