The Best Of Isaac Asimov 1939-1952

There is one obvious standout classic from this collection in the form of Nightfall. Probably one of Asimov's best known tales and a sci-fi classic. The other stories in this collection are a bit more scattershot in their quality. Marooned off Vesta was his first published story written when he was still a teenager, and that shows with its very stilted style. C-chute and The Martian Way are interesting in their early depictions of EVA's (before such things had in real life been attempted) but are not especially memorable as stories. The Deep is interesting in its concept - and one of the more satisfying stories of the collection. A mixed bag of a collection with one story really way above the others in quality
