At least with Asimov you know what to expect and you get it also.
A very nice little book with four stories in it, I liked especially the first and last one. With the third one I had a bit of problems, finding it to be ending in the middle, but still nice to read anyway.

I've read previously the name story (The Martian Way), but I'm not sure about the others, so I took this with me.

Back cover text:

A four-star quartet from the most popular sf writer of our time.

The Martian Way:
When its water supply is cut off by Earth, it looks like the end of the Martian colony. Until someone has a bright idea about the rings of Saturn...

Youth:
Two kids on an alien planet keep two lost Earth astronauts as pets...

The Deep:
Roi, scouting for an extraterrestrial race, is disgusted by what he learns about Earth's biology...

Sucker Bait:
The lethal force of a killer planet baffles a crew of top scientists until the despised kid from the Mnemonic Service remembers an old 20th-century report.

"Few move faster than Isaac Asimov when it comes to ideas" - Yorkshire Post -

Edit 19th of March 2022:
No that I've read this book, I think I haven't read any of these stories previously. The first one was funny to read, beacause there were so many familiar places and names like Phobos and Deimos - familiar from the Terraforming Mars -board game, that I've played a lot. Still, most I liked the other three stories, I think they were absolutely great.

Nappasin perjantaina miitistä. Jospa tällä kertaa lukisin loppuun.
