...spending an entire vacation in Scotland, the Strategic Traveler can take a fast train north to the Highlands for several days of fishing, hunting, golfing, sightseeing and walking on the moors.

There the principals-a deranged young Texas millionaire, a female Japanese physicist suffering from Nagasaki syndrome and a dishonorably discharged black Vietvet -first pool their malignant talents. The group's nuclear capability is channeled...
Asimov is a genius according to any of the tests by which intelligence is measured, a prodigy who manifests his abilities in a tsunami of words.

A compilation of Asimov's other works includes several volumes of detective fiction (Tales of the Black Widowers, Murder at the ABA); books on chemistry, astronomy and religion; The Intelligent Man 's Guide to Science ("The title refers to the author, not the reader"); the novelization...
