### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Another Asimov enjoyable classic
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2024*

Another great novel by Asimov in the Empire series. I love reading sci-fi written in the 50s and the predictions of technology made back then. This novel is set 10s if not 100s of thousands of years in Earth's future, but people still use coins for payment, smoke, make calls from public callboxes and there are still department stores! Loved the story and couldn't put it down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Historical Sci-Fi classic
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 November 2023*

Set in the Empire universe this is a dystopian time travel classic. Written in 1949, the story glides along without a lot of techno-babble as Asimov knew nothing about the computerisation of everything to come. In fact at the end of the book is a 1980s apology for the use of dodgy "science" of radioactivity, vital to this story, which as he explains was still evolving in the 1940's post Hiroshima.Accept this naivety and enjoy the ride.One thing that Asimov was supreme at was the dystopian societies built around bigotry. Famously his robot series reflected the American racial bigotry at the time (and still today). In this book the lowest of the low in the universe are the 'scum' Earthlings who dwell on a radioactive contaminated planet and have to bow before their Galactic masters who lord it over them. Plopped right into the seething mess of a society is poor Shwartz, a retired tailor from Chicago, transported thousands of years into the future to a contaminated Earth he cannot recognise, whose tiny population speak a different language and who fear both the Imperial garrison and their own pseudo religious zealots who strangely believe that Earth was the original planet of humans and hate all outsiders and want to take their rightful place at the top of the food chain in the universe.The writing style is old fashioned and ........ an absolute pleasure to read.  I remember reading this 30 years ago (in paperback) and found I clearly remembered most of the details, such is the quality of this story.If this was written now, there would be more violence, sex and definitely a sequel or 4. Updated a bit, it would definitely make a good TV mini series.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Dated maybe, but a classic
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2010*

A great introduction to science fiction, by the master. Although it now slots in to the overall "universe" created by Asimov, this was originally a stand alone novel - so it stands on its own! Good story, some action, and even a little romance. A great read. Could easily be made into a movie, wonder why it never has?
