USA, 1 October 1991

Unsurpassed for their unique blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building, the Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are one of the great masterworks of science fiction. With extraordinary vision they chronicle the struggle of a courageous group of men and women devoted to safeguarding humanity against an unyielding deluge of barbarism and warfare.



At last, the costly and bitter war between the two Foundations has come to an end. The scientists of the First Foundation have proved victorious; and now they return to Hari Seldon's long-established plan to build a new Empire on the ruins of the old. But rumors persist that the Second Foundation is not destroyed after all-and that its still-defiant survivors are preparing their revenge. Now two exiled citizens of the Foundation-a renegade Councilman and a doddering historian-set out in search of the mythical planet Earth . . . and proof that the Second Foundation still exists.



Meanwhile someone-or something-outside of both Foundations seems to be orchestrating events to suit its own ominous purpose. Soon representatives of both the First and Second Foundations will find themselves racing toward a mysterious world called Gaia and a final, shocking destiny at the very end of the universe!


Isaac Asimov began his Foundation Series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction. During his legendary career, Asimov penned pver 470 books on subjects ranging from science to Shakespeare to history, though he was most loved for his award-winning science fiction sagas, which include the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series. Named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Asimov entertained and educated readers of all ages for close to five decasdes. He died, at age of seventy-two, in April 1992.

Thirty years after writing the original Foundation trilogy (often regarded as the best science fiction trilogy ever written) Asimov returns to continue the story. Fan pressure to carry on he often claimed. It's certainly different - like some people, some stories seem to get a bit flabby with old age. It is still well plotted, but really should be seen as a prelude to the revelations of the next book in the series. The originals remain classic - this is a nice, entertaining echo of what once was.
