1987 Fantastic Voyage II, Destination Brain, Isaac Asimov, Hardcover. Measures 9.25" by 6.25". 332 pages. Good condition. Dust cover shows a little wear.
Embark on a microscopic journey into the human psyche with this 1987 first edition of Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain, penned by the grandmaster of science fiction, Isaac Asimov. While the title suggests a sequel to the 1966 classic, this 332-page hardcover volume is actually a standalone reimagining of the concept, written by Asimov to reflect more accurate biological theories and his own visionary take on miniaturization technology. Measuring approximately 9.25 inches by 6.25 inches, the story follows a team of Soviet and American scientists who are shrunk to a microscopic scale and injected into the brain of a dying genius to retrieve revolutionary secrets. Asimov’s hallmark "hard science" approach shines here, blending thrilling adventure with fascinating meditations on the limits of human consciousness and the complexity of the mind.
The book is in good condition, featuring a clean interior and a tight binding that has been well-preserved over the decades. The original dust jacket is present and shows the honest character of a vintage find, with light shelf wear that tells the story of its 39-year history. For the modern decorator, this volume is a perfect addition to a "dark academia" library or a "mid-century modern" office space. Its vibrant, Space-Age cover art makes it a standout piece for a curated bookshelf display or a unique gift for a fan of speculative fiction and vintage technology. As a piece of 1980s literary history, it captures the era’s fascination with both the vastness of space and the inner frontier of the human body.
