A Retelling of The Original Story
Despite the title, Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain is not a sequel to Fantastic Voyage, which is a novelization that Asimov wrote from the 1966 film of the same name. Asimov was never quite happy with the original novel because although he was able to change some of the scientific details, it wasn't entirely his own work. Therefore, he wrote Fantastic Voyage II as a new, separate story that shares only the central concept of miniaturized scientists entering a human body.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or story:
“The most original sin is not the thinker’s but the poet’s.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
“Personal beauty is then first charming and itself, when it dissatisfies us with any end; when it becomes a story without an end; when it suggests gleams and visions, and not earthly satisfactions; when it makes the beholder feel his unworthiness; when he cannot feel his right to it, though he were Caesar; he cannot feel more right to it than to the firmament and the splendors of a sunset.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
