Through Isaac Asimov's world-renowned fame, one might forget that he was once an unknown beginner. The three volumes of "Early Works" showcase a less experienced, yet more inspired young Asimov. They contain stories from 1939 to 1948 that have not been previously collected. Each volume stands as a complete entity. Asimov comments on the stories with brief notes on their origins, the criticism he faced, and the modest payments he received. For enthusiasts, these are excellent stories; for fans and connoisseurs, they represent a piece of history from the Golden Age of science fiction.

Tom Ripley travels to Italy with a commission to coax a prodigal young American back to his wealthy father. But Ripley finds himself very fond of Dickie Greenleaf. He wants to be like him - exactly like him. Suave, agreeable and utterly amoral, Ripley will stop at nothing to accomplish his goal. The Talented Mr. Ripley serves as an unforgettable introduction to this smooth confidence man, whose talent for murder and self-invention is chronicled in four subsequent Ripley novels
