What does this mean?Highlights
Quality
Asimov, does present the book title with the comma, so don't ask me!
Incidentally, this book, also with the currents of space and pebble in the sky, is sort of an accidental trilogy.
Shipping
The book itself was a fast paced sci-fi adventure, with asimov's trademark attention to detail and typical plot mechanics.
Competitiveness
Even today a great read for novice or experienced sci if enthusiast all over the world.
