Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
'An exciting narrative drive, plenty of entertaining futurology'
Independent
All records of Earth have been removed systematically from the libraries of Foundation worlds. Now Councilman Golan Trevize and Professor Janov Pelorat traverse the galaxy in search of humanity’s ancestral planet. On worlds beyond the Foundation’s influence, superstition and taboo shroud the subject of their quest. To name Earth is to utter an obscenity!
Fortunately, the space travellers find allies – and Pelorat finds a lover named Bliss – among the telepaths of the planet Gaia. As they near their destination, Bliss picks up thought waves of intelligent beings. What she cannot tell is whether or not those beings are human.
The epic story of the Foundation is one of the great classics of science fiction by the Grand Master of the genre. Isaac Asimov’s legendary saga, winner of the Hugo Award for Best All-Time Novel Series, has enthralled generations of readers – and continues to amaze. |
