Tan Porus goes back to worrying about his sleepy squid.īut the negotiations do not go well. The job is seen has a simple one, requiring no great ability.
A busy Rigellian psychologist, Tan Porus, sends his underling, Lor Haridin, to deal with welcoming the Solar System into the galactic Federation. The plot of “Homo Sol” ( Astounding Science-Fiction, September 1940) tells the story of first contact but does it from the aliens’ point-of-view.

Campbell and Astounding Science-Fiction:įor “Homo Sol,” my nineteenth story, there was no outright rejection. He also discusses one very important thing that came out of this very minor universe.
In The Early Asimov, Ike talks about how the short set of stories were written. The Homo Sol trilogy by Isaac Asimov was his first series of more than two stories.
