I do not want to reveal too much information in case I ruin the story for someone who has not read the book, but this is one of Asimov's best works. I enjoyed his writing as a youngster, and would highly recommend any of his science fiction (or any other genre he wrote in). Asimov was a prolific writer, and he was one of the earliest to get into science fiction. One of the great things about Asimov is that he wrote without the use of gratuitous violence or sexual encounters. Those things are present when needed, but understated. Asimov wrote for both the adolescent and the adult.

The basic thrust of this book is the protagonist's search for the legendary lost first planet. What he finds at the end of his search will surprise you, and ties this series in nicely with many of Asimov's earlier works.
