| Foundation and Earth is the last of the Asimov's Foundation series, but it does not concern itself with The Foundations's struggle to the Second Galactic Empire. Golan Trevize, made a supreme decision influencing the Final Destiny of the Galaxy based on his unexplained intuitive power of making the RIGHT decision based on insufficient data. For some reason, he believes that finding the long, lost planet of Humanity's Origin, namely Earth, will justify his supremely important decision. This book describes his voyage into deep space and the ultimate future of the human race. | ||
