The Second Experiment (From the book "Solar Wind Vol.1")By : Deborah Susan Jones : Editor Published by Panther
Books in 1975, but created by the artist a year before
(because the publishing process took a year to evolve
from artwork to printing to publication through to
distribution and appearance in shops/stores) the US
psychoanalyst and author, married to Isaac Asimov from
1973 until his death in 1992, was primarily writing
stories for children, but The Second Experiment (1974)
presented as J O Jeppson, is an adult tale, though the
early section touches upon her children’s’ writings in
tone, and is concerned with a Robot, who will upset and
upheave his creators and even their concerns about their
very existence.
On the planet Roiissa, in a remote galaxy,
the Rouiis continue. yet, as these god-like aliens
prepare for a wonderful Second Experiment, a robot
servant Tec, in order to survive, expands his
intelligence, which can in turn seriously affect the
history of the race that created him, and escapes from
his masters, taking with him a sole remaining
physically-incarnated Roissa, R'ya, a pubescent female
dragon, and then falls into the dastardly clutches of a
world-enslaving power that is determined to conquer the
Universe.Needless to say, Tec’s actions can lead to
devastating cosmic outcomes . . . . .When the artist created this work, he had no
idea who the author was, until the Art Director
explained that she was the wife of Isaac Asimov, all
part of the wonderful, heady era, of the young artist,
evolving from art school, into the exciting and
fast-paced world of paperback publishing and learning to
fit into the link-through production process of
art-to-art director-to editor, to photographer (of the
art) to the printer, to the sales force, to the shops,
and ultimately, though he had no forward conception of
such a thing at the time, becoming a much sought-after
creator of paperback art worldwide. Deborah Susan Jones
