Ripley wanted out. Wanted money, success - the good life. Was willing to kill for it. A haunting and harrowing study of a schizophrenic murderer. Arguably Patricia Highsmith's best book and certainly among the best crime novels written since the war.

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.
