Product Description:
The fifth novel in Asimov's popular Foundation series opens with second thoughts. Councilman Golan Trevize is wondering if he was right to choose a collective mind as the best possible future for humanity over the anarchy of contentious individuals, nations and planets. To test his conclusion, he decides he must know the past and goes in search of legendary Earth, all references to which have been erased from galactic libraries. The societies encountered along the way become arguing points in a book-long colloquy about man's fate, conducted by Trevize and traveling companion Bliss, who is part of the first world/mind, Gaia.

Trevize had been at a crossroad in the previous novel "Foundation's Edge" and chose one path for the human race to follow. Not fully convinced of the intuitive leap he had taken, he decides to take up an archaeological odyssey to find the birthplace of humanity - now shrouded in legend. ... Read More

Asimov's Foundations series is spectacular and one that should not be missed. It is stunning in its scope and highly original for its time. One of the best science fiction writers in not only my opinion, produced a stunning series. Foundation and Earth is the continuation of the series.

A followup to the original Foundation series. Drags here and there but worth the time.
