Publisher's Summary

Biron Farrell was young and naïve, but he was growing up fast. A radiation bomb planted in his dorm room changed him from an innocent student at the University of Earth to a marked man, fleeing desperately from an unknown assassin. He soon discovers that, many light-years away, his father has been murdered. Stunned, grief-stricken, and outraged, Biron is determined to uncover the reasons behind his father's death, and becomes entangled in an intricate saga of rebellion, political intrigue, and espionage. The mystery takes him deep into space where he finds himself in a relentless struggle with the power-mad despots of Tyrann.

Classic 1950's boyhood scifi

Great story. Great science behind the science fiction - most of which is still not too dated to enjoy today. Though some of the 50's attitudes would grate against feminist beliefs today, but if read in a "Leave it to Beaver" mindset of that time, would still be enjoyable.

So, So with a Strong Ending

After reading Asimovs' spectacular "Robot Series", this was rather a disappointment. It starts off slow and pretty much stays slow. The very end of the book takes a stunning and intriguing turn that almost makes the prior 99.9% worth reading. Almost... Put it this way, if this work did not say Asimov on the cover, it would never make it past door stop status. In fact, I doubt it would have been published. Serious Asimov fans will probably want to give it a go but I cannot recommend it.
