Collins Foundation (The Foundation Series)
<I>Foundation</I> marks the first of a series of tales set so far in the future that Earth is all but forgotten by humans who live throughout the galaxy. Yet all is not well with the Galactic Empire. Its vast size is crippling to it. In particular, the administrative planet, honeycombed and tunneled with offices and staff, is vulnerable to attack or breakdown. The only person willing to confront this imminent catastrophe is Hari Seldon, a psychohistorian and mathematician. Seldon can scientifically predict the future, and it doesn't look pretty: a new Dark Age is scheduled to send humanity into barbarism in 500 years. He concocts a scheme to save the knowledge of the race in an Encyclopedia Galactica. But this project will take generations to complete, and who will take up the torch after him? The first Foundation trilogy (<I>Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation</I>) won a Hugo Award in 1965 for Best All-Time Series. It's science fiction on the grand scale; one of the classics of the field. -- <I>Brooks Peck</I>

Gollancz The Gods Themselves
For 14 years of a career stretching from 1939 to his death in 1992, Isaac Asimov wrote little SF and instead produced popular non-fiction in enormous quantities. <I>The Gods Themselves</I> (1972) was his comeback SF novel, welcomed by both Hugo and Nebula awards.<p>It opens in the world of Big Science that Asimov knew well, full of in-fighting and the race to publish first. The Inter-Universe Electron Pump sucks unlimited energy from nothing, making all power stations obsolete and bringing a new golden age. No one--especially not the scientist who got the credit--wants to listen to the doomsayer Lamont who calculates that the pump's side effects may detonate the Sun. Worse, there's no kudos for him: And no one on Earth will live to know I was right.<p>Part two moves to the dying parallel universe whose hyper-intelligent aliens actually invented the pump and don't care what happens to our Sun. Asimov cleverly focuses on three immature aliens whose intelligence is less daunting and who slowly learn--with very different personal reactions--about their race's weird analogue of sex, about the pump's moral implications, and eventually about the unexpected meaning of maturity. These are the most original, engaging aliens Asimov ever created.<p>Part three is set in a carefully worked-out Moon colony and grapples with the para-physics of inter-universe loopholes. Can a politically acceptable replacement for the pump be developed? Solid, workmanlike SF with far more talk than action: one of Asimov's rare standalone novels. --<I>David Langford</I>

Wings Books,US Asimov's Guide to the Bible
Isaac Asimov thinks big; readers of his science fiction works are familiar with his grasp and mastery of scale, and how the individual stories unfold within the epic work. In <I>Asimov's Guide to the Bible</I> he utilises this skill to pare down and untangle the many intertwined threads of biblical history and mythology. He views this guide as a way to illuminate the world of the Bible by incorporating the secular aspects of history, biography, and geography into a deeper understanding. <I>Asimov's Guide to the Bible</I> is not a book to be read in continuum, but an indispensable companion to any journey through the Bible. Situating the writers of the various books of the Bible in time and space, Asimov gives its writings context and also explains how that context has morphed with time. While some of his conclusions and qualified speculations may challenge certain traditional assumptions, (like the assertion that there is no reference in the gospels to Mary Magdalene as a prostitute, rather she was a madwoman whom Jesus cured by casting out seven demons) his aim is not to tear it apart, but to flush out some of its mysteries, give it a context which the average reader of the Bible can understand, and therefore to make it more real. --<I>Jodie Buller</I>
