eBook 정보

A Space Academy student and his time-travelling robot stop an evil villain from taking over the Solar System in this children’s sci-fi classic.

Fourteen-year-old Jeff Wells, a cadet at the Space Academy on Mars, is in danger of being kicked out unless he can improve his grades. With a little help from the academy’s commandant, Jeff finds a robot named Norby to help him study. But Norby’s no ordinary robot. He has the only mini-anti-gravity device in existence.

Norby’s special abilities suddenly come in handy when a villain named Ing targets Jeff’s older brother in his quest to conquer the Solar System. When Ing takes over Manhattan Island, renaming it “the Kingdom of Ing,” Norby and Jeff put studying aside to teach Ing a lesson!

저자 정보

Janet Asimov (1926–2019) was an author, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst who started writing children’s science fiction in the 1970s. She was married to Isaac Asimov from 1973 until his death in 1992, and they collaborated on several science fiction books aimed at young readers, including the Norby Chronicles.

Isaac Asimov was a Russian‑born American writer and the author of nearly five hundred books. He is credited as one of the finest writers of science fiction in the twentieth century. Many, however, believe Asimov’s greatest talent was for, as he called it, “translating” science, making it understandable and interesting for the average reader.
