Description
The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the great masterworks of science fiction. An ingenious blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building, they chronicle the struggle of a courageous group of men and women determined to shield enlightened humanity from a ceaseless threat of darkness and ultimate annihilation.
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.

His name was Biron Farrill and he was a student at the University of Earth. A native of one of the helpless Nebular Kingdoms, he saw his home world conquered and controlled by the planet Tyrann - a ruthless, barbaric Empire that was building a dynasty of cruelty and domination among the stars. Farrill’s own father had been executed for trying to resist the Tyrann dictatorship and now someone was trying to kill Biron. But why? His only hope for survival lay in fleeing Earth and joining the rebellion that was rumored to be forming somewhere in the Kingdoms.

And so he began to plan his escape.

A bit disappointed
IMO This was definitely the weakest book of the series. Part of that might have been the reading, it sounded very mechanical to me and I didn't enjoy it. Regardless of that the storylone felt like it was being extended for no reason and (without giving away spoilers) really didn't get interesting until 3/4 of the way in. At one point I checked to make sure that this title was actually written by Asimov and wasn't completed after he passed.

Amazing End to the series
This is just a fantastic book, with great adventures. The appearance at the end, of Asimov's most endearing and enduring character comes as a total surprise. I won't tell you who it is, find out for yourself.

Read with 1.15x speed.
Bland narration is a lot more tolerable when sped up. Feels a bit like Asimov is writing for word count.

Amazing end to the saga, brutal narration
I loved loved loved the Foundation saga! Each book had it's own charm and hooks. I enjoyed Foundation and Earth end to end with a satisfying ending. Admittedly the later Foundation books are a little "far out" even for science fiction, but I enjoyed it because it kept you guessing.
The narration was awful though - I had listen at a higher speed just to speed him up and get through it all. What a shame considering how wonderful Scott Brick was in all the other Foundation books.
None the less, if you have read/listened to the other 4 Foundation books, then do you really have a choice? You have gotta finish it!

Narration will put you to sleep
Wonderful story, it ties so many Asimov's ideas together. Unlike other Asimov's books on Audible, the performance was awful.

One of the worst performances and quality books
I owned 300+ audiobook. Only one or two could be as bad as this one (for the reader). Definitely no book was worse than this re-quality of recording. But the story, it's just wow. I wished audible paid more attention to this matters.

Soulless narration
I like this series, but the narrator for this book is very stiff and almost robotic. Quite apt in some ways ...

Story is fabulous, reading is robotic.
The story is classic. The reading is rather staccato, as if read by a robot...
