*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category and the works of Isaac Asimov. The term Grand Master is often used to describe the science fiction giants of the Golden Age, but it’s never been more appropriate in its use than for Isaac Asimov. A prolific writer, he wrote or edited more than 500 books; best known for his hard science fiction, Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as much nonfiction. A lot of his science fiction was written as connected themes, most famously the Foundation series, but also Galactic Empire, Robots and even the Space Ranger juvenile science-fiction stories. Examples of all of these may be found in our newly re-worked catalogue. As well as ingenious sci-fi ideas, Asimov was also an expert at the human side of the genre. We have a lot of his titles in stock, but feature here a few that are particularly recommended.
