Notice About Books Lucky Starr and the Big Sun of Mercury (Lucky Starr #4)

Grade B. Book Ls5.

This book begins with Asimov's now familiar foreword about the planet it takes place on now not being the same as it was when he wrote it. That aside, it's an intetesting yarn with more whodunnit elements than boys-own sci-fi derring-do. Indeed, it allows Bigman a bit of time on centre stage with some interesting character development to boot. There is also thankfully, a giant, half-mad robot, which gives the author the opportunity to practically demonstrate his now famous 3 laws of robotics to

#4 in the Lucky Starr series. This YA science fiction was written by Isaac Asimov writing as Paul French. Not quite as compelling as I remember the series about the Space Ranger being when I first read it, 50 years ago. Young folks may still enjoy it if their expectations haven't been predisposed by Star Wars and its ilk.Lucky Starr and his friend Bigman journey to Mercury to try and learn who is sabotaging an important series of experiments.

No women to speak of, of course, but some good science -- thinking out implications of living on the surface of Mercury vs. Earth vs. Mars. And some good robotics stuff, of course.

And so I pass from forensic biographies to Asimov's science fiction. This is really a continuation of the adventures of Lucky Starr and his faithful side kick this time sorting out the reason why seeming idealistic project to provide clean free energy is being sabotaged.The book like the rest of the series is aimed at the younger reader although Asimov must have felt that the reader deserved the truth - in so much at the time of the writing it was assumed that Mercury didnt rotate and only one

It's been fun, re-reading all these old books after such a long time. With this novel, I thought how funny it must have been, being a youngster reading the first edition, and finding that Paul French shamelessly used Asimov's robots...
