Forward the Foundation (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1994

Best outside of the original trilogy
I am a huge Asimov fan, but I have always been dissapointed by his later fiction, which never seems to have the life and tight plotting that his earlier stuff does. That is, untll AI read Forward the Foundation. Returning to the style of the original books, Forward ...

Prelude to Foundation (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1989

Asimov's greatest
This book was written 25 years after the others in the series, and Asimov's writing skills had obviously matured and improved. He was a master writer in his 20's but he continued to get better. The characters in this work are more believable, and in this book he ...

The Naked Sun

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

Asimov takes a murder mystery WAY beyond merely clever!

Isaac Asimov's Treasury of Humor

Isaac Asimov

Mariner Books, 1991

Funny Stuff
I have an older edition of this book...it is priceless. I enjoy it whenever I need a break - keep it at work. We all need humor, and Asimov had the kind of quirky sense of humor that enriches our lives....get this book.

Foundation's Edge (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

Shocking, Fascinating, and Intense....Read it
After finishing the initial Foundation trilogy about a year ago, I took a break. (I am a collector and had bought every book in the Foundation series all at once) I was completely satisfied with the way the trilogy concluded. I did not feel the story could move ...

Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts

Isaac Asimov

Gramercy, 1991

Completely crazy book. Hours of fun.
This book has some of the most bizarre things that I've ever read. Including the story of some medieval ruler who had the eyes of every captured enemy soldier destroyed with hot pokers. One out of 100 soldiers were spared one eye, in order to lead the blind back home. ...

The Stars, Like Dust

Isaac Asimov

Tor Books, 2008

Great series and, yes, sadly out of print...
To correct a few people here, there are (were) actually three books in the 'Galactic Empire Series'. The Stars, Like Dust: A novel of the days when warring star kingdoms wrought havoc, before Trantor gained ascendancy in the galaxy. The Currents Of Space: A novel ...

The Robots of Dawn

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1994

Asimov's Robots of Dawn
Asimov's "Robots of Dawn" is a fascinating science fiction mystery. It is also a headline breaking analysis of "Robot ethics" in a secular world. After reading the novel several times, the audio book version brought new life and meaning to the story details.
