An Isaac Asimov novel published in 1950. It belongs to the cycle about the Trantorian Empire. It was also translated into Russian under the titles “Pebble in the Sky,” “A Grain of Sand in the Sky,” and “A Fragment of the Universe.”

Unexpectedly for himself, Joseph Schwartz finds himself at the center of a conspiracy by Earth’s people against the Empire…
