The first is an exploration of the exploitation of Florina a resource rich world by the colonizers from /Sarkm a middle power on the border of the growing and greedy Empire of Terantor. Things get moving as an amnesiac recovers his memories and organizes resistance. In the second, pebble in the sky, the sad state of a totally used up planet, our Earth from the POV of a modern, for 1950 tailor thrown forward a vast distance in time. This was Asimov's first comleted and published novel. The stars like Dust, a novel set even earlier in the history of trantor, a young rancher solves the mystery surrounding his father's death. ( ) After reading all 3, the sequence in which the stories are sorted in the book kind of makes sense. The stories are numbered by publication date, but read in this sequence gives a better ending for the collection. #2 Stars Like Dust: His father is killed and he must rescue the rebellion, but everyone he trusts is plotting against him. All this in outer space, on different planets. #3 The Currents of Space: His mind has been wiped because his study of "Nothing" reveals why some stars go nova. But he starts to remember. #1 Pebble In the Sky: A freak accident sends him into the future and then they give him super mental powers before they try to kill him. This is very comfortable, and very pleasant, sci-fi--just complex enough to wonder a) what's going on; b) just how stupid can one get; c) about Asimov's adolescent romance fantasies. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Entre las novelas de Robots y la serie de la Fundación se encuentra la Trilogía del Imperio: tres clásicas obras de Isaac Asimov donde se trazan los inicios de la expansión humana por la Galaxia hasta llegar al auge del Imperio Galáctico con capital en Trantor. En Polvo de estrellas, un ranchero de un mundo agrícola y la princesa de un sofisticado reino nebular deben unir sus fuerzas para tratar de encontrar el mundo rebelde que supone la última esperanza contra el tiránico imperio que los oprime. En Las corrientes del espacio, el descubrimiento de un espacioanalista pone en peligro la relación de dependencia entre Florina, el único planeta donde se cultiva el preciado kyrt, y sus amos de Sark, en un conflicto que afecta a la expansión del Imperio de Trantor. En Un guijarro en el cielo, un hombre de nuestros días se ve catapultado al futuro lejano, cuando el Imperio abarca la Galaxia y la Tierra no es más que una mota perdida entre millones de mundos habitados, que se mofan de sus pretensiones de ser el origen de la humanidad. Pero la Tierra prepara su venganza."--Bookseller website.
