We begin our conversation about Pebble in the Sky with Chapters 1 through 6.


Isaac Asimov is famously prolific; if you know one thing about the Great and Glorious Az it might be that he wrote more than 500 books. Asimov-Reviews.net puts the number at 514 counting the Good Doctor's dissertation. Asimov.Fandom.com puts the number at a much more modest 506.


Why is this relevant? Well, Pebble in the Sky is Asimov Book #001; it's the first thing he wrote that got stuck between its own two covers (unless you count his dissertation, which he did not). It's also only his first novel even though he had already been writing professionally for eleven years. Most of I, Robot and the Foundation Trilogy were in the rearview mirror; those quickly became books 002, 004, 006, and 009. Pebble in the Sky is also a lot of fun!


Don't miss it as we delve into this significant moment in Asenion history! Let's GO!
