by Paul French (Pseudonym), Isaac Asimov

Together for the first time in one blockbuster volume -- three more exciting SF adventures featuring Isaac Asimov's intrepid hero Lucky Starr...novels that are not only thrill-packed classics in their own right, but also hint at the connection between the world of Lucky Starr and the future history that forms the background of the author's acclaimed adult fiction.LUCKY STARR AND THE BIG SUN OF MERCURY takes Lucky to a scientific station on Mercury, where mysterious sabotage threatens research that could make Earth a paradise. It requires Lucky's keen understanding of the Sirian menace and the Three Laws of Robotics to save the day.

In LUCKY STARR AND THE MOONS OF JUPITER, the Sirians are at it again. Their cleverest spy scheme yet has put the secrecy of Project Agrav's prototype spaceship in jeopardy, and it's up to Lucky to stop the information leak before it's too late.

Sirian boldness reaches a peak in LUCKY STARR AND THE RINGS OF SATURN. The aliens have invaded our solar system to put a base on Titan, and Lucky must outwit a whole Sirian fleet to stop them.

[Велислав Върбанов · Rating 5 out of 5]

„Пирати от астероидите“ и нейното продължение „Врагът от Сириус“ са прекрасни приключенски фантастики с елементи на криминале! Двете книжки съдържат 6 нетипични истории на Азимов (написал ги под псевдонима Френч), които разказват за различни космически приключения на интересните главни герои Лъки Стар и Бигман.

Действието се развива в бъдещето, когато хората вече са се заселили на други планети в Слънчевата система и отвъд нейните предели. Част от земните колонии, намиращи се на планетите на Сириус, са се отделили и превърнали в опасни врагове на Земята... Книгите са изпълнени с интересни обрати и мистерии! Те са по-различни и по-леки за четене от култовата поредица за „Роботите“ на Азимов, но са също толкова въздействащи и предизвикващи любопитството на читателите към науката!

Three complete novels by Isaac Asimov writing as Paul French. They are classic (1950's) Asimov stories. Lucky is the tall, handsome, clever spaceman with a short, hot tempered, adoring sidekick called Bigman. If you are an Asimov fan, grab this book for your collection! If you are a young adult, grab this book for wonderful, clean space adventure! If you have never read Isaac Asimov's science fiction (gasp!), grab this book!

I recommend this book, and its predecessor, The Adventures of Lucky Starr, for any young reader. The tech is a little out of date, but that does not detract from the stories. I'm certainly no young reader, but I've always enjoyed Asimov's writing style, and these stories were written during his prime, in the early and mid-50's. Enjoy!
