Publisher Description
The fifth novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION
Golan Trevize, former Councilman of the First Foundation, has chosen the future, and it is Gaia. A superorganism, Gaia is a holistic planet with a common consciousness so intensely united that every dewdrop, every pebble, every being, can speak for all—and feel for all. It is a realm in which privacy is not only undesirable, it is incomprehensible.
But is it the right choice for the destiny of mankind? While Trevize feels it is, that is not enough. He must know.
Trevize believes the answer lies at the site of humanity’s roots: fabled Earth . . . if it still exists. For no one is sure where the planet of Gaia’s first settlers is to be found in the immense wilderness of the Galaxy. Nor can anyone explain why no record of Earth has been preserved, no mention of it made anywhere in Gaia’s vast world-memory. It is an enigma Trevize is determined to resolve, and a quest he is determined to undertake, at any cost.
Customer Reviews
Good story…terrible narrator
Story was great and in line with the rest of the series. Narrator was terrible, monotone, such a huge departure from the previous narrator. I searched for other versions on multiple platforms, but he’s the only one I found. I was able to push through it by setting the speed to 1.25x, which took away from some of his monotonous, slow reading style.
Good
Good story as always, however the narrator makes it’s seem like it is more along the lines of “Foundation, as read by a computer with a robotic voice”…
Awful narrator
I was thoroughly convinced it was a computer reading this until about halfway through the story. The reader is awful. He’s slow, every character gets the same monotone voice and he’s sooooo slow reading. I had the spread the playback up just to get through it. So disappointing especially when you go back to Scott Brick for the next book then return to this guy. It’s like someone thought he did a good job and were like “Hey we gotta get this guy back the people need a second helping”
