Format:Paperback
This was probably my favourite book out of the entire series. It's great. It's set between Prelude to Foundation and Foundation, and serves as an excellent bridge between the two books. The book provides a characterized version of Hari Seldon, which I felt was missing in the other books, where the only place where readers would 'see' Hari Seldon would be at the Vault during the crises. In addition, while retaining a high level of excitment and plot-development, it made psychohistory come to life as a science, instead of just the as a mysetrious force as portrayed in the other books of the series. I recommend reading this book in its correct place in the series.

This book shows Asimov's story telling powers remained undiminshed by the years. The story is fascinating even though we know, in a broad sense, what will happen in the end. Asimov has stated that he viewed Hari Seldon as his alter ego, and so it is appropriate that the story of Seldon's last days should be Asimov's last work.

An absloute classic. This, Asimov's last book, is another jewel in the Foundation series. It fills a gap between foundation and its prelude, and fits in seamlessly. It completes the series in a glorious manner. The end, and the failing of Seldon's faculties, are made especially relevant because of Asimov's own life at the time, and his unwelcome death.

The last triumphant effort of the master
The Foundation series is probably THE sci-fi series. In recent years Asimov rather lost it with regard to the genre, becoming rather self indulgent and wobbling on about all... Read more
