The last Isaac Asimov science fiction collection which contains all of his previously uncollected stories.

Gold is Isaac Asimov's last science fiction collection‚ one containing all of his uncollected SF stories that had never before appeared in book form. Gold is the final and crowning achievement of the fifty-five year career of science fiction's transcendent genius‚ the world-famous author who defined the field of SF for its practitioners‚ for its millions of readers‚ and for the world at large.

The stories collected here for the first time range from the humorous to the profound‚ for Asimov was engaged until the end of his days in the work of redefining and expanding the boundaries of the literature he loved‚ and indeed‚ helped create. And there is more. For at the heart of this extraordinary compendium is the title story‚ "Gold‚" a moving and revealing drama about a writer who gambles everything on a chance at immortality-a gamble Asimov himself made. And won.

About Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov was born in 1920 in Russia and was brought to the USA by his parents three years later. He grew up in Brooklyn and attended Columbia University. After a short spell in the army, he gained a doctorate and worked in academia and chemical research. Asimov’s career as a science fiction writer began in 1939 with the short story ‘Marooned Off Vesta’. Thereafter he became a regular contributor to the leading SF magazines of the day. Asimov wrote hundreds of short stories and novels, including the iconic I, Robot and Foundation. He won the Hugo Award four times and the Nebula Award once. Apart from his world-famous science fiction, Asimov also wrote highly successful detective mystery stories, a four-volume History of North America, a two-volume Guide to the Bible, a biographical dictionary, encyclopaedias, and textbooks, as well as two volumes of autobiography. Asimov died in 1992 at the age of 72.
