Reissued after seventy-five years out of print—and in hardcover for the first time in a generation—David Starr, Space Ranger is the first book in the Lucky Starr series written by the legendary Isaac Asimov, author of Foundation, the Galactic Empire series, and I, Robot. The Lucky Starr series was originally published under the pseudonym Paul French. Conway could remember the day, the exact minute, when the news had reached Science Tower. Patrol ships had shot out into space, tracing the pirates; they attacked the asteroid lairs in a fury that was completely unprecedented. Whether they caught the particular villains who had gutted the Venus-bound ship none could ever say, but the pirate power had been broken from that year on. And the patrol ships found something else: a tiny lifeboat winding a precarious orbit between Venus and Earth, radiating its coldly automatic radio calls for help. Only a child was inside. A frightened, lonely four-year-old, who did not speak for hours except to say stoutly, “Mother said I wasn’t to cry.” It was David Starr.

It detected many ships, but Lucky watched only for the one which he would recognize with certainty the instant it appeared. Nor did he fail. At a distance of twenty million miles, the first quiverings roused his suspicions. At one hundred thousand miles, his telescope showed it as a faint dot. At ten thousand, it had form and shape—it was the flagship of Anton, the pirate chieftain! At a thousand miles, Lucky sent out his first message—a demand that Anton return to Earth. At one hundred miles, Lucky received his reply—a blast of energy that made his generators whine and rocked his ship as if he had collided with another. Lucky’s tired face took on a drawn look. Anton’s ship was heavily armed. It was not what Lucky had expected …

The Lucky Starr series was originally published under the pseudonym Paul French. From a distance it seemed an emerald green, fairyland bubble! Aphrodite, the largest city on Venus, deep beneath the planet’s sea. Earthmen had established an incredible civilization, but now it is threatened by an unknown force preying on men’s minds. Bigman’s head snapped back at a sudden new and strange sound. It was a voice, flat, without intonation. It said, “Do not tamper with your machine of far-reaching sound. We do not wish it.” Bigman turned. His mouth fell open and, for a moment, stayed so. He said, “Who said that? Where is it?” Lucky said, “Easy, Bigman. It was inside your head.” How will Lucky Starr fight off an enemy that can get inside people’s heads?
