Jeppson, was an American science fiction writer, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst. She 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 a number of science fiction books aimed at young readers, including the Norby series. Jeppson authored the stories while Isaac helped edit and corrected any scientific errors. Eons ago the Roiiss -- amoral energy beings from another continuum -- performed their mysterious First Experiment and then retired from the galactic fray, leaving their descendant, an endearing dragon, behind under the care of Tec the robot. Tec and his charge encounter Wirzan, an implacably malevolent computer, and their battle continues down the millenia into earth's 21st century when a band of earthlings become involved in the denouement. The Roiiss put in a final appearance and their Second Experiment is foiled, thus preventing the destruction of the universe. Jeppson's sense of whimsy is appealing but this remains a routine variation on the theme of saving the galaxy from hostile aliens. Artikel-Nr. 90902
