TIMELINE FOR THE ROBOTS AND FOUNDATION UNIVERSE Isaac Asimov The Foundation and Robot series of books, written by Isaac Asimov are one of my favorite science-fiction series. Others favorites include The Rama Series [Clarke], Ender Series [Card], Homecoming Series [Card], and the best of the best, The Gap Series [Donaldson].

However, Asimov has a special knack for gripping your attention and holding it for a long period of time. I think this is because all his novels are simple and straight forward; they tell a story instead of explaining the theories behind the technologies and/or ideas in the story. That, in my opinion, is where most writers falter. Asimov just tells a great, exciting, and interesting story. The Second Foundation Trilogy, written by Bear, Brin, and Benford is a very good read too since it explains a lot left to the imagination in the original Foundation books.

Perhaps one of the reasons I really liked this series was R. Compiled by Attila Torkos, 1998.
