David Starr lost his parents as a child who became victims of space pirates. He survived and received the best education in the Galaxy, becoming a slender, handsome athlete with muscles of steel and the analytical mind of a first-class scientist. In addition, David became the youngest member of the Council of Science, an organization with unlimited powers. But for all his outstanding qualities, David Starr, nicknamed Lucky, is obsessed with a thirst for adventure, somewhat prone to adventurism, and also has a remarkable sense of humor. This means that Isaac Asimov has prepared for us a meeting not with a boring average superman who methodically saves the world, but with a real fantastic hero, whose story is a pleasure to follow!
