The Stars, Like Dust – Review

The Stars, Like Dust by Isaac Asimov

My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Perhaps I’m tiring of Asimov’s style or format, or perhaps it’s because I barely considered this story science fiction compared to the Asimov I’m used to reading.

It was a good adventure story, full of intrigue and plot twists – but I could have done a series of global search and replace operations in MS Word and made it historical fiction set in some ancient Earth empire.

Furthermore, the ending was a little neat and tidy for my taste. More so than is typical of the author.

Also, I just get uncomfortable when Asimov writes romantic sub-plots. I think it’s the mutton-chops.
