The last in Asimov’s Foundation series, Foundation and Earth closes the epic series well, but leaving one or two questions unanswered and posing a few new ones.
Golan Trevize and Janov Pelorat continue their search for the beginnings of humanity and the mythical planet Earth. This time though, they have help in the form of Pelorat’s new partner and Gaian, Bliss. She believes that the galaxy should be transformed into the great Galxia, but will what the trio find on Earth back up her claims?
Not only does Foundation and Earth close the story of Seldon’s psychohistory and the slow and steady formation of the Second Galactic Empire, but also some more ancient ideas from earlier in the series in the form of the Three Rules of Robotics.
A must for all Asimov fans and a great close to a great series. It’s a shame there aren’t any more now where this came from!
Never knew you read Asimov Liam – like I bet you didnt know I did. Have read all his Foundation series.. why did he have to go and die??? Definately one of the best stories ever. Did you know that the early books were based on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire? So there you go

Hey! Thanks for commenting on my Blog. Yeah, I love Asimov even though I’ve only really been reading him for about a year. I’m nowhere near finished reading the whole Series but I’m definitely working my way through it!
